I too was surprised to find 3 magnets, guessing it was due to its design being a low rpm/high torque... If the admin wishes to combine these threads or can great idea I too don't have a specific use for this motor but who knows it might wind up on a kids go cart...this motor has a single winding, Y ...

Thanks for the cross link.
Yes they are magnets but not horribly strong
I looked back at my rotor bar/ stator slot diagram and yes these small motors often operated with odd number rotor bars to stator slots, perhaps this also works for magnetic rotors?

Seems powerful, but also heavy!

Very curious.. strange that it has only 3 magnets? If it has 6 teeth per phase I would expect more poles, at least an even number :? [/quote] I have a friend that does a lot of HVAC work and will see if he has any of these laying around and check what inside them. I thought it was funny there was 3 ...

I happened to replace a 220V 3 ph smart motor and thought it was interesting enough to pass along. This has 3 magnets on the rotor and an 18 pole stator, a 4 inch long 1/2 inch diameter shaft with a D shape . It came off a 5 ton commercial air conditioner squirrel cage fan. These should be readily a...

any chance anyone has looked at the Dodge Ram water-cooled alternator used on the V-6 engine. Curious as to what kind of rotor is in it...

I did a while back, re-read it I am wondering if it is a claw style rotor with magnets assisting a wound rotor... the only style I had seen disassembled is the gen2 versions
