Frequently Asked Questions
Please read our FAQ before sending us a message.
How do I measure the arm length?
The standard measure is the wipe length — a straight line distance from the centre of the spindle to the centre of the blade mounting.
What size motor do I need (Nm)?
Newton meters (Nm) is the rated stall torque of wiper motors. Single station motor options:
- 12Nm — small systems, typically for arms and blades up to 500mm
- 30Nm — medium duty, typically up to 700mm
- 50Nm — medium/heavy duty, typically up to 1000mm
- 80Nm — heavy duty, typically up to 1500mm
- 110Nm — heavy duty, typically up to 2000mm
Is a Radial or Pantograph arm better?
Radial / Pendulum arms are best on screens wider than they are tall. Pantograph arms are better on taller narrow screens. Typically the spindle will be close to the screen for a radial arm and further away for a pantograph arm.
What’s Dynamic Park?
When the motor is turned off it electrically locks into the same park position — as opposed to non-dynamic / coast to park where the motor coasts to a mechanical stop which can vary by a few degrees.
How do I measure the spindle?
Length is based on the overall outer liner dimension. Pivot centre is the distance between the centre of the spindle shaft and the centre of the drive link pin or ball. DIN, Tapered Knurl, or Drum are the arm connection sizes.
Do you have wiper systems for my car?
No — we do not carry OEM automotive wiper systems.
