(ET) Mower motors source



Sorry to post this to the list, but my messages
to Shannon Aldinger keep bouncing
Source of motor,
http://www.ametektmd.com/pdf/Motor14-15.pdf
This is Ametek's 47 frame motor.
Quite costly but I got them for free since a
customer application fell through and we had
extra prototype motors.
It's an awesome motor, extruded aluminum housing,
sumerium-cobolt rotor and very well designed for
transportation applications (city bus etc.).
The control is my own design for Ametek and very
reliable.
I machined the shaft extension and made all of the
interface couplings.  I'm hoping in the future to come
up with something cost effective that I could offer as
a completed product for the list, but time is not on
my side!.
Too many side projects, the kids electric go-carts
have been converted with a 64 frame and need my
new high current control;

I tried one of my first prototype controls on my sons
gocart.  It went 35 mph on the flat.  I'm writing
speed control software to limit it to something safe
for him.
