What is torque of power window motor?

The torque of a power window motor refers to the rotational force it can produce to lift and lower a vehicle's window glass. It is usually measured in newton-meters (Nm). The torque requirement for a power window motor depends on several factors, including the weight of the window glass, the size and type of vehicle, and the desired speed of window movement.

In general, the torque of a power window motor ranges from around 10 Nm to 30 Nm. Smaller vehicles with lightweight window glass typically require motors with lower torque, while larger vehicles with heavier glass or additional features like automatic window closing may need motors with higher torque.

Here are some examples of torque ratings for power window motors used in different types of vehicles:

- Small cars: 10-15 Nm

- Mid-sized cars: 15-20 Nm

- Large cars: 20-25 Nm

- SUVs and trucks: 25-30 Nm

It is important to use a power window motor with the appropriate torque rating for the intended application. Using a motor with insufficient torque may result in slow or weak window movement, while using a motor with excessive torque may put unnecessary strain on the motor and other components of the window mechanism.

For replacement purposes, it is advisable to consult the vehicle manufacturer's specifications or the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the power window motor to ensure that the correct torque rating is selected for the specific vehicle model.
