Van Door Motor Help

Thanks for all the help! Now one more quick question, do they work better on victors or jaguars?

Both have worked fine for us, just don't feed them too much power for extended periods of time. The window motors (and van door motors) have a small heat sensor inside that cuts power to the motor whenever it gets hot. Unfortunately this happens very quickly under heavy loads.

they do great on jags; last year I used a stray 2008 door motor to test Serial Can via a Laptop. they are great for speed testing, as they already have leads you can crimp to, the speed is slow enough that one can see what is happening, and the motor sits flat on a workbench.

You may cutoff the connector to attach the wires to power in your design. Often a team will position a speed controller near to the motor and attach the motor leads directly to the output of the speed controller. This is acceptable under the rule quoted by Don above.

Ok well I think that is all that I need. I will check with the rest of the team and make sure they don't have any other questions.

Thanks again
