DC motor magnet problem
« on: December 18, 2011, 03:47:41 PM »
Hi all.
I have this DC motor used for e-bikes [Check here]
I am building a middleweight (<60Kgs) combat robot gearing down the motor from 3300 rpm to 330 rpm via chain drive. I tested it but it's magnets are coming off the casing. I am trying to find the cause of this rip off. I suspect it could be the glue strength, the sudden cyclic reversing of polarity or the rapid acceleration & deceleration . But I need your views. Also is there a way to glue back the magnets? Thanks.

A rather fast and fairly heavy robot with quite large wheels needs what? A lot of power?

It seems easy enough to open, so repair should be possible if you can find a high temperature epoxy or similar, but why not contact the seller and ask for a refund first - motors are not supposed to shed their magnets with normal use - did you drop in on a hard surface?
