    Hello good, I would like to know what would be the maximum temperature that some windshield wiper motors can withstand?
    My simulator after playing for 1h and 30min reached a temperature of 45 degrees and for that reason I stopped playing.
    What would the max temperature be? and the optimum for these 12v motors?
    Thanks and regards.
    Sorry for my English but it is through the translator.

    I am not sure there is a magic heat number, outside of that which melts isolation material, rather that repeated overheating is likely to damage and shorten the life of the motors.

    Ok, thanks for the answer, but I still have a question about what the superheat temperature would be for an electric motor?
    I understand that motors have a working and overtemperature temperature, but I don't know what those values would be.

    Nor do I, unless you conduct a destruction test, as I don't think that sort of information is available for random wiper motors.

    Ok, so I'll try, since the right engine always has a temperature difference of 8 degrees with the left.
    Thank you !!
