50 or 60 HZ Lyrec Motor Wanted.

[Pepperman]

Hello.
I want to buy a lyrec motor for a newmann vms70.
Better 50 HZ if possible.
Thanks in advance.

I can make you a BLDC lyrec motor substiture.

BLDC??

Brushless DC Motor. Several advantages:

1. More torque than the lyrec

2. Country and Power independent. The motor isn't dependent on copper windings like the lyrec motor is for speed control. The timing is performed via hall sensors or optical rotary encoder and a motor control circuit. Therefore, the motor is not dependent on your electrical standard and could run anywhere in the world by simply changing the power supply.

3. If it ever dies, there are many off the shelf substitutes. All you need to preserve is the motor control circuit, the linkage and the vibration resistant pedestal.

I already have this working on a small scale (motor measures 1.5" x 1.5" x 3"). Just don't have the spare cash/motivation at the moment to build the papa Sr. version. There would be no difference in the circuit control logic or implementation. Just hook it up to a bigger motor. I got stuck trying to source anti-vibration mount/pedestal like the original lyrec. I am open to a collaboration/partnership Dietrich, or anyone else for that matter. I have ideas. I have skills. I have drive. I don't sleep much. But, since I quit my day job, I am short on funding...

I even made a 3d printed coupling terminal block the same as the original. You can use the exact same connector from the lathe to hook up to this motor. It uses the voltage coming from the lathe to determine what speed to run at. That is all it uses the voltage for. Not to actually drive the motor. I use a separate power supply to drive the motor and motor control circuit.
