Re: Diy brushless spindle
Jonathan - Yeah you save yourself about £5 but have to wait 2 - 3 weeks, I bought mine on Thursday night and it was delivered to my works (no Sat deliveries) Monday am, you won't get that with Hobbyking :wink: One of these days I'll pluck up the courage and order something from there :tup:
Turnigy motors are good motors, I've had a few in my planks and only had a couple of issues (loose magnets and noisy bearings.)
Re: Diy brushless spindle
Neil,
Sorry, I'm on lunch at work so I didn't have time to look through the thread... you are putting one bearing in front and one in back (of the housing which is out front of the motor), correct? What type of fit are looking for on 1) the shaft and 2) in the housing. Press fit I'm assuming, but roughly how much force?
I'm assuming this will cause some pre-load on the bearings... and with more interference on the fit, the more preload on the bearing.
Have a good holiday... anything I should not miss up in Newcastle? I'll be there for a couple weeks...

Re: Diy brushless spindle
Hey guys how is this thread progressing?
Re: Diy brushless spindle
I'm working on one with two brushless motors, ATC and water/oil cooling. It will be a while until I post the build log, but my prototype for the ATC works. Having difficultly sourcing disc springs/Belleville washers though...

Re: Diy brushless spindle
Jonathan, I found these people http://www.bellevillesprings.com/bel...e-washers.html and was quoted 100 off D18842 for £15 (min order charge else would have been £10.33) with P&P £5.50.
Progress as far as I'm concerned has ground to a halt at the moment as our lathe at work is poorly at the moment...
