    Lamb motor - take apart (Sebo X1)

    So I have a few Sebo X1 cleaners that I bought to fix up... they've been sat here for way too long.
    I'm stuck with the motors - I know a couple need attention to the bearings, but I can't work out how to get to them.

    Pictures are attached.
    As far as I can see, the only thing I can do is to bash at that lip with a screwdriver and hammer in order to try and separate the housing.
    Am I correct? Are there any tricks to doing this?

    Brass gear is probably pressed on.
    Confirm that by checking for no threads.
    If so then you will need a gear puller.

      I have a 3 piece bearing puller set - should work on that gear.

        I just happened to have this on my bench recently. This motor is fairly difficult to get apart without a puller of the right kind. But, I will say that by the time you need to do this, both bearings need to be replaced along with the brushes. If the brushes have worn down, the commutator may need to be turned. In short, a replacement motor is makes more sense, and they are available from various vacuum parts suppliers. Good luck.
        Is it plugged in?

          While replacing the motor makes more sense in terms of spending less time - I don't learn anything.

          Replacing the motors would cost anywhere from £100 - £130 which is not worth it.

            Nescafe Aeroccino, still fails with new Motor (red flashes only once)
            by juergenb
            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...

            charnwood w821 mini wood lathe motor problem
            by sbt123
            hi there,im having a look at repairing a wood lathe for my dad,(charnwood w821)the problem is when turning up the variable speed control,the motor starts to stop and start by itself,if i continue to turn up the speed it will trip the mcb in the consumer unit,there is also a slight smell of burning from the speed controll box.,Another strange symptom is the lathe can be unplugged from the mains after switching it off and the motor will spin a couple of times by itself,so far ive put a new speed controll potentiometer on and new motor brushes,ive also tested the motor windings and everything looks...

            Problem with the Logitech G27 gaming steering wheel gear lever
            by render1967
            Hello! First, please excuse me if my English is not good enough because it is not my native language!
            Now let me describe my specific problem. For two days, the gear lever on my Logitech G27 has shown the following defect. When switching in the game (for example ETS2) it often does not detect 1st, 3rd and 5th gear - in these positions it shows neutral or flashes between the specific gear and neutral (for example - 1st <> neutral). When I press the gear lever to the left or right while it is in a position, it still manages to guess the gear and engage. In addition, instead of rear...

            Motor run capacitor physical size vs voltage rating & measurements?
            by Per Hansson
            (TL;DR skip the first paragraph)
            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...

            Help identify this motor
            by mikey5791
            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...
