I've got a really old electric lawn mower that needs new brushes for the motor. I don't have the manual for it and it's no longer supported by the manufacturer, so I have no idea which part to get. Can I just use some generic brushes that are the same size, or is it important to match the hardness of the original?

Re: Replacing motor brushes
The brush hardness will determine how long they last, so I would put whatever I could find if I can't find the originals. If they are softer , just have to replace more often, but if you have had it that long and just now needing brushes, you are doing good. -

Hi,
i am asking for some Help.
I have one of these Nescafe Aeroccino (Milk Frother) things with a bad motor.
The Motor didn´t start anymore and internet is full of users just swapping the motor for a Mabuchi RF-500TB-12560.
So i got a few of these from Banggood.
I swapped the motor and now i have a new fault condition.
In a working Frother you would press the start button, it will light red and work for a few minutes.
If you press longer it will light blue and just mixup the milk.
With the new Motor it just starts... -
Hi folks. I have a Bosch GRA53 36V lawnmower that has developed a fault and will not spin the blade.
I should say for the purposes of guiding what how you can explain things to me that that I have only modest knowledge of electronics, own a basic multimeter and soldering iron.
The mower is four years old, out of warranty, discontinued and the brand has been sold to Honda who have iterated on the design a couple of times and now sell their own 36V mower. My mower was effectively a prototype when Bosch tried the 36V Bosch Professional range of garden equipment which... -

I encountered my first dead motor run capacitor at a customer this week.
For some fields I guess it is a very common occurrence but the usual way for industrial machines here is to use 3-phase motors.
(Unless a servo motor makes more sense that is).
But for some reason this 3-phase machine uses a 1-phase motor for its liquid coolant pump.
The pump would run but sometimes trip the 10A breaker.
I monitored it starting and stopping for over an hour until it finally stopped in a specific spot between its windings:
Then it could... -
Hi all forum members,
Found this unknown motor discarded in a junk yard and took home for learning experience. By the look of it, I suspect it is taken out from a type of air blower probably running on ac power. I used digital multimeter on ohm/resistance scale and it doesn't read anything on those 2 black wires. So, this motor is not shorted and should be good to run.
Correct me if i am wrong on the initial test.
Can anyone kindly advice on how to test run this motor based on visible external two black wires. Fyi, i don't see any marking on the motor body nor smell anything... -
Good evening I am working on a Reebok oneGT40s treadmill. It had a flashing display which the replacement of D3 rectified. However the lift motor now runs when the mains is turned on and does not stop. If I then select start so the tread motor runs and disconnect the up lead to the lift motor it stops. If I then reconnect the lead the lift motor works as it should with the controls. It will continue to work correctly until the mains is turned off and on again, or the safety device is removed and replaced. It then runs again and only by disconnecting and reconnecting the up lead will it operate...
