Window Motors and Rotation

[JamesCH95]

Window motors are very small and not very powerful compared many other motors available to you. I really want to say only 20-40 watts, but I can't find the motor spec sheet off-hand.

We have controlled them using spikes instead of jaguars with no ill effect, they turn so slowly we haven't found the need for speed control in any of our applications.

The KOP window motors stall at right around 20 amps and can be controlled by a Spike if speed control isn't a requirement. However, an ARA window motor might have a different stall current and may require something with greater current capabilities.
