Re: Wearite motor hums
All AC motors hum, its a question of degree. But as you describe it, stopping VIBRATING when you load the core against the cage, it does sound like a loose lamination stack or cage problem.
Are all the bolts tight?
If it's the lams rattling, get the motor warm, 50C will do, and give it a coat of varnish on the lams. As it cools it will draw it in and tighten the core.
