The Globe Motor's "Day Job" is to shift from 4WD to 2WD on GM's trucks (specifically, Tahoes, Blazers, & Jimmys to name a few).

My understanding is that the motor also is used in Ford's as well but the motor/gearbox combo that we use is the GM model.

The same style gearbox and motor is used in 100's of applications that Globe has sold programs for including an satellite pointing application. The only way these motors can get as cheap as they are is for the investment of developing a motor family and a motor assembly line can be spread out over many many motor programs.

So now you know.
