Hello @Equipment and welcome to the RobotShop forum,

You can use a motor controller to control the speed.

The power window motor has the following specs:

  • Voltage Rating: 12VDC
  • Rated Speed: 60 ± 15RPM
  • Current (No Load): <5A
  • Rated Current (Load): <15A
  • Stall Current (Locked): <28A at 12V
  • Rated Torque: 30Kg.cm (2.9N.m)
  • Stall Torque (Locked): 100 ± 15Kg.cm (~10N.m)

In order to choose a motor controller, you have to consider the nominal voltage and the continuous current. So you will need a controller that can work with 12V and can provide 15A and if possible 28A peak in case the motor stall.

You can find many options in the 10-30A DC Controllers section of the store. And in case you need help while choosing one this tutorial might come in handy:

I hope this information can help you out!
