I recently came across a motor which I am unsure how to operate.

The following information is the only data I have on it which came from
a label.

MCG
PN# 23DCMT1834
Manufacturing Code: 0009110031
Torque Cont. 50.0 oz-inch
Current Cont. 1.6amps

I did some searching around on Google but have been unable to find any
useful information.

It has four connectors. By applying power to the top two the shaft of
the motor will spin. I'm under the impression that this could be used
as a servo motor with a pwm type signal but I have no idea where to
even start.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank

when you apply power as you say, do you measure a voltage across the
other two terminals? a common (less common these days) feedback system
is to have a small generator connected to the motor with which it is
possible to measure the motor's speed. obviously this isn't as accurate
(at least in the integral sense) as digital encoders but it works if you
want to build an analog controller.
