The Prevalence Of Power Window Motors

By Martha Phillips


Power windows are windows in an automobile that can be controlled by a button. Older vehicles that did not have this mechanism used a crank to get the windows to open and shut. Power window motors are the mechanisms that allow them to move up and down or to open and close.

Most vehicles today employ the use of this mechanism. They are not only more convenient but allow people with disabilities better control over their automobile. Sometimes, all access panels will be located at the front of the car to automatically shut the windows whenever there are children or pets at the back. This keeps them shut even if the passengers press the buttons by accident.

The lifting mechanism is the most important part of the structure. An electric motor secured to a worm gear linked to numerous other gears achieves enough torque that can move the windows. In its essence, torque is known as rotational force or movement.

These motors cannot be operated if the vehicle is not running. They are also impossible to force open. These were done intentionally as security features. If the driver is not around to start the main engine, the windows will not be opened. This detail automatically prevents theft.

In the past, when someone asked a driver to roll down their window, the notion of the cranking mechanism was implied. People also imitated the rotating crank if they asked someone to open the window. Today, this signal is hardly recognizable since buttons have become the more popular instrument for better control.

There are so many variations of this mechanism today that some features on other vehicles are not as superior as the rest. This can lead to problems with the mechanism causing it to stop budging. Being left with a half open window can be especially annoying if you have to park your car somewhere but you cannot leave it on its own. Otherwise, it can invite thieves to sneak up to your vehicle and steal whatever valuables you have left inside.

Power motors could also rapidly decline with too much use. Smashing the buttons or playing with them is not advisable to prevent the mechanism from breaking. If they do break, immediately call mechanics for assistance because they are usually more capable than you. They can diagnose what is wrong and keep your car functional for several years to come. However, if you believe in your own capabilities, you can certainly try repairing it yourself to avoid additional costs.

Back when the mechanism was fairly new, it had come under extreme scrutiny because there had been children suffocated after accidentally pressing the buttons. However, we have come a long way from then. Today, there are panels available in the driver seat with neat features. These features include child lock up or automatic up for maximum safety of the passengers inside.

Uncovering the door panel to see the gears working together in the power motor can be quite amusing. It truly allows you to applaud the ingenuity of the engineers behind the invention. Certainly, we will have more developments like these in our vehicles in the future.
