Re: Mini lathe motor temperature

 

50% of motors running full speed the bearings will only last 20,000 hour but the coil last a lot longer dust is next problem.??

But biggest reason failed of a motor running lower speed is over heating. The fan is not running fast enough to cool the motor.? This because cutting low speed under heavy load.? This is our problem on mini lathes.
The speed is 100 rpm and the fan turns slowly.?
If turning at 2,000 rpm the fan is doing? a great job of cooling.??

I have seen 30 hp DC motors on machine tools. They add a very large fan for cooling.?

It hard to put a good cooling fan in a tight spot.?

After researching of motors are 221°F [105°C] after that the life is shortened.
The outside temperature is about? 60°F to 70°F? [15 to 20°C ] less the coil temperature.? So if outside is could be wend the coil is? 221°F [105°C] the outside is between? 151°F and 161°F [85 an 90°C].

On my gauge I set the red mark at 80°C and 105°C.
If I see gets never red it time to let motor cool down and gives little to finish the cut.

The Capillary is attached by HVAC Aluminum tape , max temperature is 145 °C at this point the motor is toast
