Motor problem

[BillTodd]

The shaft on my motor is 22mm (actually 21.98 with wear) x 58mm. The motor casing is roughly 250mm long x 180mm diameter. 1ph 2hp , 1480rpm

There's plenty of room back there so if you're prepared to drill the mounting plate, I guess almost anything could be made to fit.

A 2hp in a non-standard shaft size (should be 24mm x 50mm if its a 90 frame).

Looks like I'll have to take this one off and measure it properly, then put it back so i can use it to make the mounting for the new one... then take it off again...

Early mill / drills had an assortment of motors and frame sizes as they had not worked out at that stage who to copy :whistling:

Standard motor sizes are 11 Ø mm, 14 Ø mm, 19 Ø mm, 24 Ø mm, 28 Ø mm, 38 Ø mm, 42 Ø mm etc

Then there are specials [ as always ] Bridgeport, that bastion of American technology, standardised on 22 Ø mm diameter with a 7mm keyway for the step speed and a step shaft of 29mm and 28mm for the Varispeed with again a 7mm keyway.

Irving, instead of a flat alloy spacer just stand it off on 4 spacers or even 4 M12 nuts like everyone else does. lol

Thanks for that John. I'll turn up some spacers on the lathe, I need the practice!
