Re: (ET) Fw: Blade Motor | Clutch?



     The two fibre washers amounts to what could be considered a clutch. It is still quite possible to bend armature shafts.
     The motors used in the ElecTrak®, from what I have seen, are purpose built for the application.
     The only noteworthy exception is the Delco® lift motors, which are adapted from driver's side GM window lift motors.
   Most experienced electric motor shops can handle what ever rewinding needs that you might have. The only real scary thing that comes to mind is if you have permanent magnet motors, and the magnets get injured.
   Once those are gone, they are GONE !

Subject: (ET) Fw: Blade Motor | Clutch?


List,
 
A couple of quick questions from someone with (no?) little mechanical
experience . . .
 
1.  is there a "clutch" mechanism in the blade motors? (to prevent damage
     if blade hits a rock, etc.?)
 
2.  is the motor (mine is a E15) widely available as a "generic" part?  Or, is
    it specific to the ElecTrack, and thus only available from those suppliers?
 
3.  Who is the recommended source for motor parts/expertise/etc.?
 
Thanks,
 
Jay
