Wiper motor for Kobelco 7080

The wiper motor 2488R251 is an electromechanical component responsible for powering the wiper arm assembly on the crane cab. By converting electrical energy into mechanical movement, it drives the wiper blades across the windshield to maintain a clear line of sight for the operator during rain, snow, or dusty conditions. This clear visibility is necessary for the safe monitoring of loads, site surroundings, and ground personnel signals during crane operations.

This component is engineered for the Kobelco 7080 lattice boom crawler crane. It integrates into the cab electrical system to provide the necessary torque for consistent blade movement across the glass surface. The motor assembly includes the internal DC motor and the gear reduction mechanism required to translate electrical input into the oscillating motion of the wiper blades.

Wiper motors function by utilizing a small electric motor coupled with a worm gear assembly to reduce speed and increase torque. This setup allows the wiper blades to overcome the friction of the rubber against the glass, even under heavy precipitation. Proper operation of this motor ensures that the operator maintains an unobstructed view of the work area, which is a fundamental requirement for the safe and efficient handling of heavy loads in construction and infrastructure environments.
