Hi Speedi More info on KB Controllers http://www.kbelectronics.com/Variable_Speed_DC_Drives.html Eric |

The whitish blob on the back of the motor in one of your photos is a speed sensor. In the washing machine's controller which uses an IC controller this feedback is what enables it to run a steady splosh splosh splosh on the wash cycle. Worth using that if you can figure the wiring for the controller. One I played with (Hotpoint I think) wired series wound field would turn over on just 12v and got up to over 10k rpm on 70v, no load. About 20+ years ago at the ME exhibition someone showed a 12ft submarine using 2 on 24v. |
