EG700 problem.. please help

DYORD · June 15th, 2007, 01:38

My EG700 motor has been performing well ever since I bought my AUG. Until finally the pinion gear gave up. Anyhow... I just had the pinion gear replaced yesterday. My problem now, after few shots (while setting the height of the motor) my motor just stopped working. Even testing it alone, it won't rotate. It got stucked... What could be the cause... and what can be the possible solution with this problem? Even rotating it manually... it's really hard.

Are there any "MOTOR" tech out there?!? I need your help! Thanks!

Take the motor out and power it up. If it doesn't turn over, try wiggling the brushes. Push on the outer end with a pen tip. If the motor starts up, I suspect that your commutator may need a cleaning or the brushes are worn out. Look for a badly pitted dull finish on the copper commutator.

i think the magnetic wires had fried up.. I'm still searching the internet how to revive my motor.. But right now.. I'm so sleepy... so I'm going to bed.

if you can take out your motor try connecting your batterie directly to the motor. I would suggest not doing it for to long since i dont know if theses motors where designed to run with out a force or with one for to long.

do the wires used in windings are special wires?! or just plain copper wires? I'm planning to restore my burned AEG motor... just widening my knowledge...

one person told me it's a magnectic wire... but i doubt if there's such thing..

DYORD · June 21st, 2007, 17:16

guys... can you correct my theory?!?

less windings = more RPMS the motor can go.
larger gauge = more torque

if I use a plain stripped copper wire on the windings, will it still be useful? I can't really understand the point of using magnet wires.. because... electricity do makes it magnetic anyways..

btw, motors have 3 poles right?... is the winding of wires continues from first pole to the last?

is that this? :

copper is the best metal for wires, it has the lowest resistance. Make sure your wires are very flexible, harder wires will brake easley. Larger gauge, be carfull the gauge on wires work in inverse, the smaller the gauge is writen on it the larger it is. So if its writen 20 awg and you have one writen 16 awg, the 16 one is bigger then the 20. The bigger the gauge is the less resistance there is so the more juiced is available to the motor. And watch out with soldering cause bad solders can creat more resistance then you truely want

i just understand that magnet wires are just copper wires with an insulation..

my question now, will it still work if I just use a plain copper wire(without an insulation) to a motor windings??

Dark-Angel · June 25th, 2007, 14:07

i wouldnt suggest doing so, be cause the risk that you short your batteries would be high. If the 2 wires touches each other or touches other metal it will creat a short.
