Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'High Torque' mean for a motor?

High torque means the motor can exert a large rotational force. For automotive applications, high torque is essential for moving heavy loads (like power seats, windows, or large pumps) efficiently, especially at low speeds.

Are these motors suitable for replacing a car window motor?

While the 12V DC geared motors listed (like the BRINGSMART and Greartisan models) possess the necessary voltage and high-torque characteristics, true automotive replacement motors are often designed with specific mounting plates and connectors. These motors are best suited for custom builds, robotics, or industrial replacements where adaptation is possible.

What is the benefit of a self-locking worm gear motor?

A self-locking worm gear motor (like the BRINGSMART 70kg.cm unit) means that when the power is cut, the output shaft cannot be back-driven by the load. This is crucial for applications where the position must be maintained, such as door locks, heavy curtains, or certain lifting mechanisms.
