Re: DC motor rewind help ?
It appears to me now that treadmill motors are a rather hard-done-to item, from the dead one in front of me it appears that cooling has been almost overlooked. This motor does have a small fan on the end of it to draw air through the motor,, the air inlet holes being rather small and clogged up with dust. Bad design all around.
This particular treadmill is a "Re***k" high ender, over £1000, any reason why they didn't use an AC/DC motor and Triac speed control ?
