Interesting video. Thanks for sharing.
I have a 4.25 hp, 130 VDC Leili treadmill motor that I’m using for a lathe. I noticed that the red and black wires coming out of the motor are AWG 16. So, like the fool I am, I decided to upgrade to AWG 14.
I popped open the little plastic door where the black wire exits the casing. It shot across the room. Turns out there’s a spring in there.
The black wire connects to a thicker copper braid which is attached to the brush, or magnet or whatever it is. This brush or magnet fits in a slot inside.
So I connected the braid to the 14 gauge wire and I’m wondering what the spring is for. It’s a PITA to get it in like it was.
What’s its function and do I need it in there?
Did I do a foolish thing?
Thanks for your help.
Paul

I think you have to have the spring the motor brushes need to move a little. And the spring keeps light pressure on the brushes

My motor looks very similar to the one on here. I need a replacement reflector sticker that goes on the end of the flywheel for the infrared censor. Do you know how to get one or even properly word that question? It's a precor 9.25i 400 series. Thanks!

[@FitnessTechnologyServices]

Well that will be hard to find they have not used that reflector tape or the infrared sensor for a long time. Your wording is perfect send me a picture of the tape to fitness parts pro @gmail.com they made different kinds back in the day I will see if I can help

[@Whatsahandle4]

@@FitnessTechnologyServices ok thanks. I actually bypassed the damaged tape which was on the edge by moving the censor inwards. I also plan on using mirrored tape to make a new one. Thanks for the response!!

@@FitnessTechnologyServices I will send ia picture. Thank you

Would spray carbon cleaner clean the commutator ?

[@FitnessTechnologyServices]

I can’t answer that I never have heard of doing that! I general I think it is not good to get it wet .... you could try a pen eraser no pencil it not rugged enough

[@paulmanhart4481]

What about all the grit inside after cleaning?

[@FitnessTechnologyServices]

Well there nothing you can do about that. I never heard of this being a Issue.

[@swizlestick]

Will bad brushes cause squeaking?

[@FitnessTechnologyServices]

Hmm not sure on that . It is normally a tapping noise but I guess

Volts
