    Hello everyone,
    I have a question regarding the motors. We use two 24V motors for our 2 dof, one of them is a truck wiper motor. The problem is that the motors can be moved easily when they have no power, they don’t hold their position. Maybe our motors are not good for a motion simulator but on the other hand I have seen several posts here where others do use wiper motors. Is there a way to hold the motors on their position when they have no power?

    Here are pictures of our motors.
