Information On Power Window Motors

By Ann Baker


The automobile companies are recently investing more in the comfort of drivers by making the system more automated. The salient feature which is gaining popularity is the use of power window motors which accounts for the overall convenience and luxury of automobiles. These motors rotate when the power window switch is operated by pressing causing its revolution to change in upwards or downwards directions thus opening or closing the door.

The optimal operation of a system is necessitated by the attachment of a worm gear which is a lengthy metallic bar with one end spiral-shaped just like a screw. The gear is teeth-like along its circumference. Thus, the gear moves the circular gear by connecting the teeth embedded inside a spiral which is then connected with other spur gears. These special gears are purposely for gear reductions. Therefore, the community of gears provides the torque needed to open or close the car windows.

The metallic bars that support the glasses are attached to plates which oscillate through a fall and rise as the case in a seesaw balance. Their movement is attributed to the rotation of the gears thus closing and opening the glasses. The arms counteractively interact with one another to attain an even movement both vertically and horizontally. They are structured in such a case that, if one moves up the other one falls due to the weight of glass.

They gain the energy needed to initiate the rotation from the supply box which usually has a direct connection with the battery. This is because their basic function is to initiate the rotation to other gears unlike the case in manual doors where the gears are moved by a crank handle. They instantly begin to work when the button is pressed because the circuit from the power supply box to the fused switch is completed by wires attached to the motor.

The lifting mechanism is enhanced by the automated switch button on a side of a chauffeur. On pressing the button, the glass will laterally move in a horizontal or a vertical direction depending on the magnitude you press it. The pressing process triggers the motor to move continuously thus initiating the overall up and down movement of this glass windows. Nevertheless, some car models do not pose this automatic feature due to safety purposes thus when obstructed they simply halt.

The electrically generated motor works for hands in hands with the regulator. They are responsible for manual open or close, window lock and key-off power functions which are critical to the overall. They are all attributed to the intensity you hold and release the switch button.

In addition, the power motor is the crucial component that triggers the opening and closing of glasses in the autos which is usually strategically located on the side of drivers. However, there arise times when it stops functioning due to various culprits rooting the problems. This requires an immediate replacement which is relatively cheaper.

Therefore, the overall power system is a diversified connection of several core components like the electric motor, regulator, electrical circuitry system and the battery of vehicles. Thus, blend of these critical parts results in an effective functioning of the entire entity, therefore achieving an even opening and closing of the glasses.
