*Newbie Question/First Thread*

I'm just wondering what kind of motors are used for wipers; are they servo motors, like this one: SM110 Motor Series, or are they just simply wiper motors, which are powered by a universal, electric motors?

My hunch tells me that servo motors are the ones that are behind it, which is of course based on my understanding of a servo's function; nevertheless, it's just my hunch.

Your thoughts are very much welcome!

A simple DC motor spins at high speed. It drives a worm gear that greatly reduces speed while multiplying torque. The gear train turns an arm or cam with an eccentric lobe or pin, which makes the wiper arm oscillate.

Much cheaper and easier to implement than a stepper or servo motor, as no complex motor drive circuitry is required.

See attached exploded diagram.

My guess (based on having used one as a trim motor) is that most of them are dumb motors governed by external inputs like limit switches and timers....BWTHDIK

Correct, these are just DC motors with two or more
speed select features (brushes offset from optimum
torque position) or taps on series field windings
(only in the nearly antique, electric motors).

There are numerous articles on the 'net for using
these motors in amateur robotics and other DIY
situations . . . they are cheap and robust . . .
but quite dumb. They have a servo-like behavior
in their ability to 'park' the wiper blades but
this is a simple limit switch mechanism.
