Model Forum / General / Models / March 2009Looking for a motor
Gents, For the last 30 years I have been running my ML7R on a DC motor to get speed control in the days before semiconductor advances allowed the cheap production of 3 phase inverters. I'd like to convert to such an inverter fairly soon.I've got inverters in stock but I'm looking for a dual voltage 3/4 horse, 4 pole (1425rpm) three phase TEFC motor Ideally a foot mount or combined foot/flange but even a flange only mount would do as I can make a mount for it. Ideally one in the south of UK would be good but prepared to collect from midlands say (if my passport has not run out lol) More than happy with a second hand one in exchange for a couple of beer vouchers. Anyone got anything taking up room under the bench? I've been looking on fleabay for the last couple of weeks but nearly everything is 1.5hp and above of stupid money.

Bob, I don't have a spare motor, but now live in Felixstowe and my oldest mate moved to Southampton, so do that route quite regularly if you need something couriered. > rles >>> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > oldest mate moved to Southampton, so do that route quite regularly if > you need something couriered. Hi Cliff, Thanks for the kind offer. Looks like John has a motor that is spot on for my needs so won't need the Suffolk courier service this time. Cheers Bob >> Gents, >> [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > Charles Thanks Charles but it looks like John S has one to meet my needs. Cheers Bob > Gents, > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Bob Bob, Got one here that's come off a Myford, not sure what HP, it's either 3/4 or 4/4 I can check tomorrow , its dark here and that workshop is bloody haunted...

If you could have a look sometime I'd be grateful. Charles P has a 1/2 hp but I think the standard fit was 3/4.

I'll put a beer voucher in the post to you tomorrow. Not sure when I can get up to you or maybe there is someone going partway in the right direction. Maybe you can pop it under Gert's pillow for safekeeping for a while!

The only problem I have is I haven't got a wiring diagram and have no idea where to find one although I have trawled the net. If I junk the existing controller, what I would like is information so I can make or buy a suitable controller. What I presumably need is a method of rectification and a speed controller. The only controllers I have found have been too expensive to make the project worthwhile. Any assistance gratefully received. John >> Gents, >> [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > help; I have a DC motor and controller from a washing machine which I > would like to use on my lathe to obtain speed control. Could be grunty enuff, depending on the lathe - let's assume a Myford or similar, needs about 2/3 HP, mebbe even a Boxford at 1.5 HP or so - but I've never come across a DC main motor in a washing machine. Are you entirely certain it's DC? I guess I only get to look inside old washing machines, but I've looked at quite a lot of them... The only > problem I have is I haven't got a wiring diagram and have no idea > where to find one although I have trawled the net. > > If I junk the existing controller, what I would like is information so > I can make or buy a suitable controller. make is not really practical, even if electronic genius, easier to earn money and buy one. buy yes, but it will take time and looking if you want a cheap one, see below. > What I presumably need is a method of rectification and a speed > controller. The only controllers I have found have been too expensive > to make the project worthwhile. I bought a 3/4 HP Leeson Speedmaster DC motor controller for £12.71 on fleabay a fortnight ago - been looking for a bargain for six months or more - and bought a 650W 90V DC motor for £14 several months before that. But there have been several 0.5-1.0 HP inverter drives going at sub-£40 prices on fleabay recently, rather than the £90 or so they were a few months ago, maybe worth a look? However, you will then need a dual-voltage 3-phase AC motor ... come to think of it, I need to buy one too, as I just bought a 3/4 HP inverter for £19 odd ... :) -- Peter Fairbrohter dam cant speel my one name > Any assistance gratefully received. > > John >> Hi Bob >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >I've never come across a DC main motor in a washing machine. Are you >entirely certain it's DC? Hotpoint (Cough, spit) use universal motors. Bought one. Got a company discount (part of GEC in the good old days). Will never buy another one. Any washing machine that needs new motor brushes every 6 months is defective by design.

This might give you some ideas about the circuit theory. http://homepages.which.net/~paul.hills/SpeedControl/SpeedControllersBody.html  SignatureRegards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk |
