motor

Hi, I'm considering buying a used ZAY7045 mill, with a 575v 3 phase spindle motor, and before I look for potential motor+ VFD for replacement, (as only have 120v 240v single plase current available, I would like to make sure there isn't an easy "rewiring" possible, by rewiring, I don't mean...

I recently acquired an HLV with a power feed motor that won't run, and took the time today to diagnose things, and evaluate possible fixes. From my understanding, the power feed motor is a DC brushed motor, and the DC current produced by the rheostat based controller. I have disassembled the...

Last Friday my thickness planer motor died, I checked everything, it has an open winding so it is officially dead. Being I am in the finishing stages of a large residential construction project I need the machine back up and running ASAP. So after an hour of searching, I find a reasonable price...

Last weekend I did a repair that was quite unusual (at least for me). One doesn't see much stuff like this online so I decided to post it here thinking members may find it interesting. There is this tiny computer controlled (4cmx12cm or roughly 1.5'' by 5'') hydraulic pump that pumps oil to...

Does anyone know how to determine the number of poles this motor has without me having to take it to an armature company ? Thanks in advance

Hello I purchased a Boley F1 lathe from Europe and would like info on how to convert from 220v to 110v and incorporating a foot pedal. I live in the USA and have heard that the easiest route I can take is to use a VFD to control the speed and output 220v on my 110v apartment connection. If I...

I have an old companion drill press that has this Legrand motor. On the pulley side, it has a gits oiler. On the other side, it has a different kind of oil opening. There is also a metal cap that presses on to cover the shaft. It seems to have some grease in there. I had to take the back cover...

Gents, I just picked up a used dust collector on craigslist for use in my woodshop, all things seemed fine for it until I got it home and double checked the motor tag, see attached. As you can see, it's mostly in Chinese and lists out, 220v, 18.2 amps, 2840 rpm, and 50hz. That last part is...

So I bought a china spindle spindle motor package for making a tool post grinder. Its a brushless DC motor and most of it came prewired except for the wires coming from the motor. The seller does not have a wiring diagram. Through my research and looking at pictures, I have concluded that it is...

i made a short video on testing the windings on a 5 wire 115v 1/2 hp 1740 rpm General Electric single phase capacitor start motor. other motors will test very similar

Hi there, I am putting back together my VN-12 as previous owner disassembled it to move so now, I have plenty of questions. Good news are that all the gears seems to be in great shape. Since original motor was scraped I got locally a 3HP 1780 RPM motor, is it suitable for this machine? what...

Hi guys, Hoping someone can help. Brought my SC2 out of the shed where it has been sitting for a while and it originally wouldn't turn on. Getting power and the green light would turn on but two secs later the fault light would too (no spinning). Read somewhere that the potentiometers inside are...

So, I finally got my CNC electronics done (YEAH!) and I'm ready to add the ball screws, mounts, etc. However, I'm having real issues with the motor power supplies. I'm using two 350 W (48 V, 7.3 A) switching power supplies from Automation Technologies bought via eBay. I have them wired for 120...

Does anyone have the replacement belt model info for the Undermount motor to counter shaft v belt? I have searched high and low for this information. I was not able to find it, only references to SB model numbers. Dan

I am into vintage machinery, but want to convert several of my machines so that I can use a vfd to control speed and torque. I have been very fortunate in finding unusually great deals on both inverter duty and vector duty motors. For example, today an ebay seller accepted my $40 offer (with...

Hi Everyone, I made the mistake of buying off ebay a dc motor speed controller for my lathe without double checking what hp the controller was rated for. It arrived today, and now I see it is rated for only 1/50 hp. Can someone kindly tell me what shop equipment uses only 1/50hp? I now have...

I have a vertex 10" Rotary table with mounted chuck, I use it often. There are quite a few occasions I wish it was motorized. Has anyone done a DIY motor on their rotary table and not spent a fortune ? I've seen pretty expensive motors so i'm looking for DIY options. I think I may have even...

Hello, I have also posted this request on other sites for assistance. I apologize for the redundancy. I am an advance newbie to machining, if there is such a thing. I have been hobby welding for years. I am a die-hard history buff especially when it comes to tools and construction methods. I...

I am looking at what I think is a Bridgeport clone (Newport) series 1 with a "J" head. I don't pretend to know what all that means, but several hours of reading and looking at pictures has led me to this conclusion. The machine has a 3 phase, 2H.P. motor and a belt and pully set to change...
