CIM duty cycle

I don't know too much about duty cycles, but I do know what the CIM motor is applied to By Atwood in this case. It is a trailer tongue jack. This is for leveling trailers. When you level a trailer it all happens in about 30 seconds.
If you want a longer duty cycle, you are wise in wondering how long this motor will run before it over heats. Notice that while its bigger, it has no vent holes. (outdoor usage)
The Bosch motor has its own fan and so it can be smaller.

They aren't expensive. My suggestion is to test one yourself.
In our 130 # robot, we used 4 motors and 4wd. The CIM's never overheated in a 2 minute contest. (our adaptation of the Atwwod gearbox was not effective, though)
