Im looking for a retailer for a Mabushi RS-550PH or direct replacement. Anyone know of one? Thanks- You don't want a retailer if you are after a bulk buy. If after only a few, then troll the surplus sites, $2 - 4.00 each. > Im looking for a retailer for a Mabushi RS-550PH > or direct replacement. > Anyone know of one? > Thanks- Do you have any links to these surplus sites?

I would hate to spoil things for an Ebay seller for example.

The motor burned out on it and the only place on the web I've been able to find any reference to an RS-550 motor is in RC cars/boats. I've checked motor retailers/dealers in google and have come up empty- at least with dealers that ship to the states. I found a few in the UK. I've contacted local hobby shops with no luck as well. The gate opener is a GTO Inc. mighty mule, and after talking to a local gate opener service person I was quoted roughly $160 bucks for a replacement the RS-550s I've seen in the UK were selling for ~ $20 US ) I've also seen a few on ebay ($15 for two) but the shafts had been modified on them and that won't work for me.

The last 2 letters of the 550 motor designation give the motor wind information. You should easily find a motor that will bolt up in the mechanism that will work, it might be a few seconds slower or faster but will work. Other brands of motors have the same mounting so Igashi, Johnson, and dozens of power screwdrivers ($10.00 @ Harbor Freight) use these 550 size. Pick a screwdriver with the same or a bit lower voltage if you go this route. Childrens toy ride on cars also use two of these. Goodwill stores for $20.00. > Actually- > I'm trying to repair a gate opener. The motor burned out on it and the only [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Thanks- |
