Re: window motor backlash

Guys,
It's a WINDOW motor. The backlash is there because it can be. If it gets worse over time, I've never noticed it; because it is horrible to begin with. I bet it is at least 5 degrees, probably 10 degrees right out of the box. This motor, when used for its designed puprose, is always gravity loaded! The backlash doesn't even come into play because gravity keeps the teeth loaded.

So, use the motor in a situation that best fits its original design. That is part of the design challenge.

-Paul
