Re: 150 watt 24 volt Scooter Motor Disassembly Problem
I think I will epoxy an appropriately sized aluminum piece into the area that I need to ?drill and tap M5. Then turn my attention to getting the long screws lined up and tightened. At least I don¡¯t

Re: 150 watt 24 volt Scooter Motor Disassembly Problem
Hello, If you¡¯re finding that the magnets are part of the problem, try to insert a rod made of a durable, stiff, non magnetic material e.g., carbon fiber on one side first. It's easier to lines up

Re: Alternative motor for the Unimat SL
The nominal speed of CNC spindle motor is with no load. When mounted on the lathe, due to friction losses, maximum speed will be less; I don't know how much, maybe 80% from specification. NapierDeltic

Re: Alternative motor for the Unimat SL
From what I have tested, with my current belts, because of centrifugal force, torque tension and their elasticity, they start loosing grip from about 5000 rpm above (not completely but not desirable).

Re: Alternative motor for the Unimat SL
The motor I use is about 4300 rpm, which gives me a highest speed of 6000 rpm at the chuck. This is usually enough for me, although I might like to try it a bit faster if I found a suitable motor.

Re: 150 watt 24 volt Scooter Motor Disassembly Problem
For the tapped hole, make up a plate to fit in the end cap and tap it M5 in the right place, or just tap a round (or square) piece that will go in and stick it with double sided tape. It will stay

Re: Alternative motor for the Unimat SL
Can you give more details of your spindle motor, and where it came from? I'm particularly thinking of the speed ranged, since many of these spindles are high-speed, some very high speed.

Re: Alternative motor for the Unimat SL
400-500W CNC DC brushed spindles are ubiquitous and cheap. Motor usage on a lathe is much less than on a CNC machine so it should be fine. -- NapierDeltic
