"Allowable Shaft Mode" ??
« on: December 15, 2011, 12:05:37 AM »
Hi guys,
Had someone ring asking about the 'Allowable Shaft Mode'  ??? and also the Normal Ambient Temperature Operating Range, relating to the Magic Pie kits.  Can someone point me to a spec sheet which lists these, and/or explain these specs to me?
Thanks,
RevBecca

Not sure you will find those.
The first one sounds like a bad translation,
The second is ambiguous enough to make
it a useless spec.
(IE: the pie operates at 170 degrees, but pulls
4 times the current and the top speed drops
to 8 mph. So, what, -50 to 170 degrees?)

Just got some clarification on the questions...
"I wanted to know more about the pancake motors, particularly the PM-12B. Also the first part was the allowable shaft load; the motor I’m looking for would operate a buff wheel to clean a paper corrugating wheel, this imparts some reasonable forces on the motor’s output shaft and I wanted to compare these to the allowable figures for your motor. The second part is concerning the fact that the environment this motor would sit in is at a temperature of 155 degrees Celsius, and if this motor has the wrong type of winding insulation then running at this ambient temperature could severely reduce the lifespan of the motor. I wanted to know what ambient temperatures the PM-12B motor can be operated in without lowering the expected lifespan so that I could see whether this suits my application. I apologise for not explaining my problem properly."

OK, so who's an expert on the PM-12B   ???
