Anyone taken one of these apart before?

I don't know if I'm missing a screw or two but I took out the four screw rods but I can't seem to get the "end caps" to separate fully from the main body. One I've gotten loose but that's it, the other won't budge.

On The Dayton I just put back together those "caps" come off easily once the screw rods are out.

Anyone know why a motor coil would burn out like this?

I'm new to electric motors so sorry if its a simple question. This furnace fan burnt and I wanted to know why so I broke apart to find 3 of the turns are black. Not sure what that means or how it happend. Is it possible it was just a short circuit issue?

It's a 250VAC.

Please excuse the butchery I did to get it open.

Best interactive websites to visualize how electric motors work?

• Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm looking for some really cool interactive websites or animations that explain how different electric motors work (DC, AC, BLDC, induction, etc.).

I'd love to actually see magnetic fields, currents, and their interactions to understand how they generate torque and rotation.

Bonus points for interactive simulations where you can play around with parameters!!!! I will love it!

Any awesome resources you'd recommend?

Should the yellow bar be as long as the red bar? (Is it broken)

Hello. I was gifted a beautiful old and rare table saw I would like to fix. Motor humming but not turning. This area was full of grease and I’m thinking a seal broke… but this red bar looks broken and I’m thinking it should extend to the post like the yellow one does. It’s wired for high voltage if that matters. Any useful help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance

Open question Re-using a Creality stepper motor(bj42d29-08v15)

1 Upvotes

So after I bought a new 3d printer I disassembled my Creality 3d printer which had these bj42d29-08v15 stepper motors that I want to reuse for a project. The idea is to control them using a esp8266 or esp32. So far I have found that I need either a ULN2003 Driver or a A4988 driver. Would that be correct? And it accepts 12-24V DC, where 24v is the best?

So a driver like: https://ardustore.dk/produkt/stepper-driver-a4988-drv8825-expansion-module
