GEORG X3 MOTOR SWAP

Check out this nice motor swap for the X3 / super X3 mill, made by “Jorge”, from Germany!

The target for the conversion of the motor was to use the original belt,

wheel and pinion. Furthermore I didn'nt like to change anything on the

new motor axle. Therefore I have to locate the new motor in such a way

that the pinion will be in the same level as the wheel of the pinole.

This situation leads to a flange of a thickness about 42 mm. As I didn't

have such a material, I took two pieces. One as a flange at the motor

and the other as a distance piece on top ofthe spindle structure. The

motor flange can be moved against the distance part to stretch the

belt.

Nevertheless it is a must to make a drawing of the real situation, to be

shure that everything will match together.

the 27mm thick distance part on top of the

cover of the pinion structure.

Next foto "mot_ritz.jpg" shows the assembled motor with the pinion. The

pinion was glued to the motor -axle.

And finally the assembled parts:

The final modified mill you will see above. In the final version I

hard-anodized the flange and the distance piece in a black colour.

This conversion I will never miss, because there are ways between the

old dc-drive and the 3-phase drive. Even the threading can be done in a

smoother way than before. But this is a result of the confortable

frequency-converter.

In the meantime I realized that the german deliverer of this mill is

going to change the original dc-drive. The 3-phase frequency-converter

driven ac-motor is more reliable and better and smoother to be

controlled. Obviously the dc-control electronics was subject of

problems.
