Nice looking motor. Have you run it?

[birdofplay]

Put three of them together , paint them silver and stick them into a scale Corsair !

Or send them to ME :-)

happy new year

[ecologito]

Nice looking project, look at www.powerditto.de

That is place to look at :)

[lensrc]

What did it come out of?

What did it come out of?

Len

Barcelona, Spain :D :D :D

[Harpye]

from an Epson - Printer - I'm right ?

12 Slots - Should be able to drive a 1,5m biplane ( no 3D ) but perhaps something like a Tigermoth - somthing slow with a relatively large prop.

[lensrc]

Barcelona, Spain :D :D :D

I asked "what" not "where"........... :p

yes a powerditto type glider motor :D

[ecologito]

It actually came out of a copier machine :)

[falito]

Hi. Yes it is from an Epson copier machine.I can´t understand all you say but now i am readin powerditto web .Thanks a lot.

[ecologito]

Falito, que parte no entiendes? creo que la mayoria es que solo estabamos bromeando. Si necesitas ayuda con algo solo avisame

[falito]

Hola.

Muchas gracias Ecologito , en principio imaginaba que estaban bromeando , pero me pierdo en muchas cosas , aun asi intentare averiguar que pone en la pagina de powerditto y luego si tengo dudas las intentare escribir en ingles , se me entiende bien o cometo muchos fallos???
Looking at that motor i am thinking in a big flying wing glider climbing like a demon and descending like an angel :) :)

[falito]

Hi

JO JO!!! I find a bigger motor today , it is 72,75 mm diameter.The old big motor is 60mm diameter. See that photo.

See you soon.

[olmod]

The model number as well as brand of printer would be usefull please. ;) :)

[mlh1961]

Here-here,

THAT is exactly what I'm looking for.

Hi.

I only know what is writing in an adesive paper in the motor.

DRG-8738-015A
127K25840
25X70G
Made in China
I don´t know the copier model , sorry.But I have five copiers more to make autopsy , if i find more motors i can tell you the copier model.

[latrans]

Not to get into a 'mine is bigger than yours thing' but,...........mine is bigger than yours :p .

This is one of my current projects, the motor came from the ventilation system of a Freightliner semi truck, the stator is 80mmx20mm. Just thought that I might share.

Hi

JOJOJO and nine poles , OK i surrender , your motor is bigger and betterb than mine :eek:

Bigger, yes. But I think that your motor is probably better. I do have two though.............

[falito]

Hi

Jajaja!!! These afternoon i made the autopsy to another copying machine , and i find another brushless motor , in these case the stator is 5cm diameter , 9 poles and 15mm tall.Now i have the best collection of big motors :D :D :D :D Now i have another 4 copying machine wating for me :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

[LBMiller5]

Please post the model numbers of the copier machines!

Thanks!

[falito]

Hi
Ok , tomorrow i´ll post photos with motor and data from the copying machine

[LBMiller5]

That will be great!

Guess folks can't wait to put their DIY in their .60 conversions!!! ;)

:D I heard a rumour that there was someone building a big contra' :D
Id be surpised if it had neo's, hows the lamination thickness?

[latrans]

Olmod,

I don't know what rumors you heard but a big contra isn't on my drawing board.

As for my big motor: no neos in it and the lamination thickness is about 0.65mm (a bit on the thick side). The biggest problem I have right now is that the rotor is plastic, albeit heavy duty plastic, with a 3 piece flux ring imbeded in it. The manufacturer only rates the rotor to 3000-or 3,500 rpm so if I use it for anything I'll need a custom made rotor, and I don't have a lathe. A problem that I will have to think on. I may offer a motor to someone with a lathe if they would be willing to make two flux rings and endbells and send a set to me.

One interesting thing about it is that it does have curved magnets - 6 of them. Sorry Scott couldn't help myself.

Latrans

[falito]

Hi

My motors doesn´t have neodimium magnets , the lamination thickness is 0.5mm in the three motors , and they have ball bearings for the rotor.I want to make a knew can and flux ring to adjust de airgap depending te magnets size.I work with a lathe every day , is my true work , machining miniatures here www.andrea-miniatures.com.

see you soon

Hi

These is one of my jobs , the diving helmet was made with a my lathe :cool:

[olmod]

My compliments to you on such fine craftmanship :)

[Kentucky]

Well mine is only 40mm but she said size wasn't important. :D :D
That's a GB 20mm in the centre.

Just realized 100th post woo hoo!

[falito]

Hi

Thanks Olmod ;)
I have a similar stator , i find it in a vhs video player
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/Falito/DSCN9972.jpg
on the left you can see it.It is a very good stator too.

Bye

[falito]

Hi

The three motors together , in te left the 7cm motor , in the middle the 6cm motor and in the right the new 5 cm motor.All of them have 0.5mm thick laminations an are 15mm tall.The second photo is the adhesive paper in the can of the 5cm motor.In a three hours i will put the copying machine serial number and model.

[LBMiller5]

I have torn apart 5 or 6 old HP laser printers that we threw away at work, and all of them had stepper morots in them so they were useless for stators. They do have a large amount of good wire in them however, so they have that going for them, but that is about it. It would be nice to get a good 40-45mm stator to play with. I will keep my eye out for more.

To the moderators: Perhaps we can get a sticky in this section where people can post photos of the stators they find and the copy machines or laser disk player, or where ever else we might make a good score. This would be a great way to know what to look for when we went out looking for stuff.

Lucien,

I've never found anything of worth in a printer either, as far as I know only copying machines have the large stators in them............... you probably already knew that.

Latrans

[olmod]

I remember powerditto mentioning that old laser printers were good :)

[Tekko]

Ahh laser printers, they contain a part that i really want, the polygon laser mirror scanner, looks like a motor with a weird alum disc on it.

[carlospq]

Hi

I have scrapped an old IBM POS 4684 and I have found two stators, one (12 T) in HD IBM 10 MB (MB, not GB) and other (6T) in a SpectraPhysics barcode reader.
Diameter: 42 mm (HD) and 38 mm (Scanner).
Thick laminations.: 0.5 mm
Height: 3 mm (HD), 3.5 mm (Scanner).
Better of all, the psycodelic mirror... :D

Excuse me for my english..-

[falito]

Hi

Copying machines 3- Falito 1.I only find one usable motor in four machines :mad: , but i find a lot of stepper motors :) , i´m thinking now in a CNC foam cutting machine to make foam wings :D
Here is my new motor
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/Falito/DSCN0906.jpg
15 poles , 15mm tall , 0.5mm laminations thickness and 4,5 cm diameter stator ;)

[flyyyer]

I recently got a junked Tektronix Phaser 750 color laser Printer. There are two nice motors in it, both stators 50mm diameter, one 13mm high, the other 19mm. 12 teeth. Photos to follow.

[flyyyer]

Got another Tektronix Phaser 740 Color Laser. Here's what's inside: Two nice motors, both stator diameter 50mm, one 13mm high, one 19mm high.
The first one, incidentally, after several successful CDRoms and Streamer tape motors, despite all checks, managed to fry my precious Jazz controller on first hookup. Any ideas?
Lorenz

[WACOFlyer]

Hey flyyyer
I retrieved several similiar motrs from some Lexmark color laser printers. How did you get the can loose from the shaft? It looks like it is just pressed on there.
As to the fried controller, was the motor pulling too much current thru it maybe?? I have fried my share of stock and rewound motors but no controllers, yet:)

[flyyyer]

Hey flyyyer
I retrieved several similiar motrs from some Lexmark color laser printers. How did you get the can loose from the shaft? It looks like it is just pressed on there.
I haven't even tried, I use the shaft as it is. That way, I'm avoiding issues of the shaft not holding on the can afterwards. You're right, it's just pressed on, I even pressed it a bit back, and just put a 6mm prop adapter on the can side, so the motor is mounted backward. On the other side sits a 6mm i.d. wheel collar to retain the can on the stator.
EDIT: Just retested everything - and it runs fine!
I built the motor following ideas and dimensions on www.powerditto.de. Going to use 6s LiPos, 14x8.5 Prop, Measurements to follow.

As for frying your controller, first message in this thread. The checks and tests may save you from frying your controller or motor. Thread is active, bookmark it for future refence and subscribe to it:

flyyyer,

Sweet! I have a Phasor 740 Laser Printer sitting in my garage right now! They were throwing it out at work, so I brought it home in the hopes that there might be a decent motor inside. Now I find out there are 2 decent motors inside! :D

I have been waiting to tear it down, since the last 5 laser printers have proven to be a disappointment.

Thanks for posting the info!
