And if you buy the 2 Rpm version, the cowl flap will blow open or closed because the air pressure drives the motor through the gear train. So get the right one. I wonder how you learned that.
jetdriven Posted October 1 Report Posted October 1 Because I broke yours and I ate the cost of the 2 Rpm version before I figured out I bought the wrong one, and then I ate the cost of the other one. So I’m pretty well-versed. 1 1

My cowl flap motor has been intermittently failing over the last few months, and it can no longer be ignored. When I contacted Globe-Motors (Now Allied Motion) about getting it refurbished they told me they are no longer repairing or refurbishing these motors. When I asked about purchasing a new one, I was told that there is a 4 unit minimum, a 38-week lead time, and that they do not sell to individuals. I did try to email Bobby Eldrige but his global motors email no longer seems to be active. I am looking to see if anyone knows any other options for repair or purchase for these motors. My original part number is 880050-501, the updated part number is 880050-513 / M409M498. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. No matter how you eventually resolve this, let us know. I’m sure others will eventually benefit from your unfortunate experience.
