Model Forum / General / Models / December 2005Help with electric motor
Picked up a 12 Volt 22 amp motor (ebay) motor works fine it is made by GEC, about 4 1/2 " dia and around 8 " long. The motor is labeled as a compound mootor and has four (4) brushes, two are connected to the case and the other two to a common field winding. If anyone knows the motor is it possible to reverse its direction. Normal reversal of the external contacts will still rotate the motor in the same direction as expected TIA Adrian >Picked up a 12 Volt 22 amp motor (ebay) motor works fine it is made by GEC, >about 4 1/2 " dia and around 8 " long.

You will have to change that field winding around if possible. -- Peter A Forbes Prepair Ltd, Luton, UK prepair@easynet.co.uk http://www.prepair.co.uk >>Picked up a 12 Volt 22 amp motor (ebay) motor works fine it is made by >>GEC, about 4 1/2 " dia and around 8 " long.

Although I wonder if it will make any difference. The brushes are at 90 degrees to each other and are connected case, field, case, field. the same result would be to rotate the brushes through 90 degrees with respect to the field winding, now that I could try. Cheers adrian I know how. : -- 15632 >I know how. :) Well, that's the answer, what was the question??

This is easily remedied, as google offers 2 options for responding. If people just use the 'reply' link at the end of the post it will automatically remove the content, which I agree is quite frustrating. However, if those people were to first click the 'show options' link beside the previous posters name, and THEN click the 'reply' link the original content will be restored into the response, and can be edited to suit. It is then just a matter of remembering the usenet etiquette and posting at the end of this. With apologies to those to whom this is the sucking eggs bit...

The way that web based access to newsgroups works does appear muck things up. Charles >Well, that's the answer, what was the question?? It apparently took some time for him to find the answer as the original message was a year or so back.
