Window Motors and Rotation

[the man]

These motors work great in applications where speed is not needed. They have a fair amount of torque.

They also work best in applications where they're not going to stall. They are designed with a thermal cutout that shuts them off for several seconds if they're asked to push against something that doesn't move.

In my experience it will take several minutes for the thermal cutout to reset, so plan on the motor being out of commission for at least the rest of the match.

Again that doesn't apply to all window motors get ones from an older Ford or GM that are almost CIM sized and there is no thermal protection built in.
