Re: Unimat SL lead screw not looking right

Re: Unimat SL lead screw not looking right

Re: Motor keeps tripping power in my house
So I traded a guy a motor that would trip the breaker for one that wouldn¡¯t. Since I am an electronics tech and I have overhauled a half dozen U90 motors I was confident in the swap. Noise

Re: Motor keeps tripping power in my house
Check that the brushes are still good & check how much carbon build up is in the motor. Capacitors may be shot too. Both can trip circuit protection. When you pull the motor apart place indexing marks

Re: Motor keeps tripping power in my house
