RE: Replace Motor Shaft
Hi Levram1,
I have a motor that I could not get a shaft for. The fix I did was not very elaborate, but it works.
This is how I did it:
I first got the measurement of the shaft with a micrometer
I then went to the hobby shop and found a piano wire that was about 2 thousands larger
I then took the wire home and cut it longer than needed with a dremel cut off wheel
I then put the shaft into my drill press (a drill should also work)
I then sanded the shaft very lightly until it was the size I wanted
I then put some epoxy into the motor armature and on the sanded shaft and pressed the shaft into the armature
When the epoxy cured, I then cut the shaft to the proper length
I hope the above helps.
