-40 ± 3
experience but, is not expected to operate at
Minimum Temperature TMin -20 ± 3 5±5 Minimum limit value of the ambient
temperature at which the component is

Maximum Operating Voltage VMax 16 Maximum limit value of the supply voltage at which the
component is required to operate
High Voltage VHigh 18 Maximum value of the supply which can occur, at
which component can operate with degraded
performance
Requirements that follow may just state the abbreviation: e.g. VNom
The Window Regulator shall move glass through stroke UP or DOWN in required direction with following
performance targets:
• Move glass smoothly, free from chatter, maintaining parallelism of sliders (+4mm, -0mm)
• Cable movement shall not induce noticeable BSR; anti-rattle sleeves shall be used appropriately
• Ambient, TRTP target speed of 130mm/s +/- 30mm/s, where input voltage is within nominal
range (VLow of 13.5V to VHigh of 15.8V). Use VNom, 14.6V, 0.08Ω
• FNom defined as hanging load of 80N for the Front Regulator & Rear Regulator
The Window Regulator shall support glass through full up and down stall loads over life:
• Rail material and thickness shall be evaluated to support lifetime hard stop stalls
• Cable movement and slider stops during stall shall not induce noticeable BSR for the customer;
anti-rattle sleeves shall be used appropriately
The Window Regulator shall support glass in any X, Y, Z-axis stopped position through stroke:
• Slider to glass interface shall not have unintended movement/shakiness or BSR, with shakiness
defined as: 0.3gs of chatter on leading edge of glass (B-Pillar top corner)
• Slider to glass set (relative position fixed after adjustment) shall not alter
The regulator shall support glass in any X, Y, Z-axis stopped position through stroke during abusive door
slams:
• Slider to glass set (relative position fixed after adjustment) shall not alter
• Noticeable shakiness OK as long as component does not incur damage
• Regulator attachment to sheetmetal is not weakened (see Fastening & Mechanical
Requirements for limits)
During the Window Regulator's operation, operational noise heard shall be <9 sones. Revise target to
max of 11 sones after initial data collection if necessary.
• Measured with microphone 20 inches away from center of window regulator motor
• No undesirable/noticeable BSR (cable rattle, spring rattle, cable ticks)
Operational sound data collected shall be in dB or sones (in .wav files). Conduct loudness vs. time and
loudness vs. frequency analysis with sampling rate no less than 48kHz.
The Window Regulator must endure 1 lifetime of operational cycles without its performance degrading
by more than 20% or incurring physical damage:
• <20% degradation to Window Regulator Movement requirement
• <20% degradation (~2 sones increase) to Window Regulator Operating Sound Quality
requirement
• no physical damage or noticeable shakiness to meet Window Regulator Support requirement
• no physical damage due to repeated stalls to meet Window Regulator Full Up/Down Stall
requirement
• Cable slackness shall remain acceptable, as measured on the self-adjustment feature (Measure
self-trapping for target)
The Window Regulator shall be installed as close to vehicle condition as possible, with hanging loads.
1 Lifetime of Window Regulator Operational Cycles is as follows:
• 28 000 cycles, where 1 cycle consists of:
o 1 Full Drop: From Full-Up Hard Stop, WR travels full-down to stall for 0.5s, then full-up
again to Full-Up Hard Stop position, also stalling for 0.5s
o 3 Smoker's Gap Drops: From Full-Up Hard Stop stalling, WR travels down and up for
approximately 1.0s three times with stops at both upper and lower positions for 0.5s.
The first two times of travel up will not hit Hard Stop, and the 3rd time will do and stall
for 0.5s.
o 1 Short Drop: From Full-Up Hard Stop stall, WR travels down 0.15 seconds, stops for
0.5s, and travels full-up to Hard Stop position.
• Appropriate rest time between cycles for motor cooling needs
The Window Regulator must endure and additional lifetime of operational cycles and be functional at
the end (degraded performance OK).
Reference contact:
These factors should allow the motor to perform for 2 operational lifetimes without damage.
Data for can be collected with thermocouple implemented on motors.
The Window Regulator shall move <15mm when a 735N load is directly applied onto the component
across the two sliders.
Spec the motor and system loads so that stall force into header, as measured 25mm from its full closed
position is <270N at 13.5V/0.08Ω, in case of anti-pinch software failure.
Mechanical Loads
the door module form a height of 500 mm onto a hard concrete surface at the following orientations:
Horizontal with dry side down.
Horizontal with dry side up.
Vertically on forward edge.
Vertically on rearward edge.
Evaluate the door module after each drop looking for any damage.
The Window Regulator must function correctly even if it was accidentally dropped from a height of 1m
during handling or installation onto a hard surface.
The sample is dropped with the test surface and impact surface parallel to each other and in all 6 axes
(x, -x, y, -y, z, -z). The impact surface is usually a concrete surface.
The Window Regulator Stroke (from hard stop to hard stop) shall have a tolerance of +1.5mm -0mm.
Over life, cable slackness shall be corrected for by the tensioner to maintain stroke length.
At TRTP, VNom and nominal loads (80N for Front & Rear Regulator), the Window Regulator working Torque
target is 5-6Nm. Provide expected nominal current draw to HC based on motor selection.
• Variation of 15% OK
• All conditions being same, 15 consecutive cycles later, current draw should not exceed 15A
The maximum stress seen on the Window Regulator Rails (worst case: stall load at VHigh, THigh) shall not
exceed 70% of the material's yield stress.
Conduct CAE evaluation before final rail material and thickness selection. Verify during durability testing.
The Window Regulator must withstand the Power Door System's lifetime panel open/close slam
loading without its performance degrading or undergoing physical damage. Undesirable buzz, squeaks
and rattles should not develop. Endurance of the component is defined by:
4.7 Vibration
