Oscillating motor

[Buzzie8]

Anyone have any oscillating motors for ww 1.0 or 2.0 laying around that they want to sell? Just thought I would try here before I bellied up to the bar and paid the price if you know what I mean! Need a back up motor for my parts bin.

Gather your specs and google Automation Direct. They should be able to set you up with a reasonable replacement.

Heh, not one to sell, but just serviced on yesterday. Megged it at the end of the wires and it showed bad. Replaced with a new one and megged it at the motor and it showed good, so it must have been in the cord. I replaced the cord and cleaned the gears out and replaced the gear oil. So I now have a "used" replacement motor on my shelf.

Anyway, if you guys use a megger to check your motors check it at the motor (not at the end of the cord)before you trash it.

Is your motor bad or your gear box? Dont throw it away!

I have been successful in repair a couple of these when the gear boxes went bad. But I took two to the local motor shop and he told me it would cost almost as much to repair motors as it would for new one. I keep them laying around for the gear box parts. I just ordered a new one to put on the shelf last week.
