    Freezing Motors?

    Might be a stupid question,but due to the drop in temperature ,does anyone know the operating temperature of a technomate 2600 motor,looked everywhere for information but to no avail.

    I,m an engineer and at my work the silo motor just destroyed itself and the gearbox due to the cold and thats lagged and worth tens of thousands,so what chance for a ?40 motor

    Thanks

    well its been down to -10 C where I am and have still been swinging a TM2600 and an old 2100a between 39E & 30W and they have both been fine the cable seems to be ok as well(but havent inspected it).I think their ok as long as no water has got in.

      Same here in the west down to -8 and it is still swinging, but i must say when the temp first dropped i forgot about the motor and when chaning satellites and i heard it strian a little and it was a bit noisey and thought i had broken it but all is working to date.
