OK you motor gurus. My Gast vacuum pump quit working.
Upon disassembly, I found the two curved ceramic field magnets were detached from the motor housing.
Needless to say, the motor would not turn with the magnets stuck to the rotor.
I cannot tell by looking at the inside of the motor housing exactly where the magnets were positioned.
I am going to guess that it makes a difference where the magnets are positioned in relationship to where the motor brushes are positioned.
So, if a line is drawn through the center of the two diametrically opposed field magnets, should a line drawn between the opposed
brushes be inline or perpendicular to the line through the magnets? Thanks for your help, Al _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
