What kind of motor do you use?

Hey

I tought i could be fun to se what models of motors we are using for our projects.

If you have a viper motor write:
Car model,
year if possible
where you getted it from?
Why did you choose them?

If you have an electrical motor write:
Model
data
where you getted it from?
Why did you choose them?

Could be fun to have some statics on this and maby help others to make the right decission

Hi there, I use windscreen wiper motors.
No particular car model, usually a medium to large sedan or van, 12 volts, and not usually matching. But usually the same speed.
Year models are usually unknown as they are odd ones, possibly from a car 10-20 years old.
Bought second hand from a car wrecking yard, as cheap as possible.
Why did I choose them? They are cheap and they work. I cannot afford actuators.
Cheers, David.

I use wiper motors from a Vauxhall frontera, though any 4x4 would do...

I chose them as they are easy to mount, easy to find (usually for about €15 on ebay), and designed to clear mud from a big screen - so they are slightly more robust than normal car wiper motors
