Tyre Changing Machine Motor

[thomp1983]

Hi all,

I recently acquired a broken cormach cm330 tyre changing machine.

When I went to collect it the garage said it had been looked at by someone who thought it was the capacitor but there was a bit of a language barrier so the repair/diagnosis didn't get any further.

Once I got it home the cap was clearly blown so I replaced it with a new one of the same spec.

With the new cap fitted the motor will spin up for a few seconds and then blows the fuse in the plug so I'm guessing there's something further wrong with the motor, it does this with the motor detached from the turntable gearbox so it's the motor itself or the wiring setup.

There a few photos of the motor plate, it's wiring and the cap I fitted.

Can anyone see anything obviously wrong? Is anyone able to suggest a suitable replacement motor?

Thanks,
Chris.

It looks like it's wired for reversing. Check its not getting forward and reverse power.

It's wired to a reverse switch to allow the pedal to alternate direction if that makes a difference.

How would I test it's not getting both forward and reverse power?

It will have a centrifugal switch. Check it works.

If you need a replacement, look for an IEC 80 frame foot mount motor. 1HP. 4 pole 1425 RPM).

It might be worth mentioning the fan cowl should be fitted to the motor otherwise it may not cool effectively. If the motor runs, you can buy a replacement cowl.

Does that look like the correct replacement motor?

Thanks

take the old one into your nearest store and get them to do a comparison. They will keep a couple in stock
