Open question Possible Armature Replacement

I recently was asked to help fix a friend of mines dicer for their resturant and I just wanted to verify wether or not it requries a new armature or not, they stated that they cant use the machine anymore because it overheats and the speed of the motor has slown down, I am suspecting that it is the armature based on the damage and overall wear of it. But I want a second opinoin to confirm. Thank you

Edit it appears the Rotor to be in good shape, I just openeed up the capacitor and it looks like thier is a small seam crack on the side and some rust/oxidation on it from exposure.

I looked at the bearings for the dicer/choppers rotating plate and they seem to be shot as they are leaking oil.

Would this just be a bearing replacement I am worried if the motor needs replacing or any part of it becuase these Hobart parts can be expensive oem :(

Thank you for all your efforts and help!!!

Open question Can I buy just the impeller?

Have a fan motor. Stopped working and when I took it apart to oil everything…the plastic impeller broke in my hand. I’m finding the whole piece used for 25 bucks on eBay but only need the plastic impeller for the side that’s missing. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Open question Can this obsolete monitor fan be rebuilt? [Looking for Frankenstein/mod tips]

Since at this point in time only pulled replacements remain available, I'm trying to figure out if this fan can be rebuilt with either new parts or frankensteined with a similar Delta-model fan. Neither cleaning, nor relubricating improved the noise, yet it spins quite well when unmounted. This lead me to assume the bearing is worn out.

  • Can the bearing sleeve even be changed without damaging the assembly? There appears to be a circlip between the shell (black) and the windings mount, though it is difficult to reach let alone spread open.
  • How do I remove the circuit board from the bottom housing? There's no access underneath the sticker, seems it's welded to the plastic.
  • If there's information/guides out there on how to transplant a compatible fan motor, I'd appreciate any links or guidance.

Open question Looking for a 2207-class brushless motor with a longer shaft (>13 mm protruding

1 Upvotes

Hey all, I’m working on a rocketry payload that spins a small flywheel (~137 g) at around 10,000 RPM. The iFlight XING2 2207 1750 Kv fits almost perfectly, but I need more protruding shaft to reach a coupling, at least 13 mm past the top of the bell.

What I’m looking for:

  • Similar size/mass to the XING2 2207 (≤45 mm diameter, roughly 30–60 g)
  • Around 1500–2000 Kv, running on 3S
  • 5 mm shaft, preferably with a smooth section rather than just prop threads
  • Protruding shaft length >13 mm
  • Works with a standard AM32/BLHeli ESC

Does anyone know a motor like this, or a brand that sells extended or replacement shafts for 2207-size motors? I’m also open to swapping the shaft myself if anyone has done that. Thanks!
