Subject: | Flap motor brushes |
"Well, now I've gone and done it!" Flap motor installed but I decided I
would see what folks were talking about with flap motor/gearbox grease
causing problems. While trying to put the motor back together I managed to
break one of the carbon brushes trying to get it back in its little hole!
$389 for whole flap motor assembly, $89.00 for replacement motor from Allied
Electronics
(http://www.alliedelec.com/search/productdetail.aspx?SKU=3880012), no luck
on just the brush holder and brushes so far.
Anyone else had to replace the brush holder and brushes or complete flap
motor?
Can I get away with replacing just the motor?
Thanks,

Subject: | Re: red goo on firesleeve |
Aircraft Spruce sells firesleeve "end dip" in 1 qt cans part number 5027. It is
expensive but worth it.
It's primary purpose is to coat the inner fibrous lining from the end to a point
past the clamp to keep oils, gas etc from being soaked up by the fibrous material.
It needs to be thin and "wickable" to do this thus the term dip.
You do not want a length of firesleeve full of oil.

Allen,
The motor doesn't look like the exact same thing. It may be functionally, but
I would be wary of the size. Also, I think that the little gear on the end will
be your biggest problem.
If the motors are enough alike, you can take the brush assy from the new motor
and use it on the original....just a thought.
I've had to clean mine already too - so I know what a bugger it can be.

I've heard that Home Depot has brushes, but never looked for them. If
the brushes aren't an exact match, they can be carefully sanded to size
..... carefully, as you well know!!! Good luck, and let us know how it
turns out.

Harry,
Here is some of the info. There is actually an early and a late flap motor. Vans
changed vendors in 2002. The whole story on that can be found here.
http://www.vansaircraft.com/pdf/flap_motor.pdf
You can find lots of info on the flap motors here

Subject: | Re: Flap motor brushes |
Thanks Charlie! ....
Allen, I've had really good luck replacing motor brushes by making a
tube of thin plastic ..... 6 mil stuff from the hardware store .... and
wrapping it around the commutator and then sliding the brush assembly
down over the plastic tube. Keeps the brushes from hitting the end of
the commutator and breaking.
Take it slow and rock the brush assembly a little while using a thin
pick to push the brushes into their pockets while sliding the assembly
over the commutator.
