2007 Maxon Motor Group Buy

[Algar_emi]

Hi. I'm starting this new thread for a new group buy of Maxon Motor from Maxon USA. I would like to get 5 motors to get a much decent price of about 90$ each. This motor can be use with Mark kelly great motor controller to build a killer turntable motor/controller combo.

The previous group buy prices were:
Here are the price breaks for motor 110191 a-max 26mm

1 $250.00
2 $125.00 each
3-4 $106.70 each
5-19 $83.90 each

Mark Kelly just gave us the controller pcb gerber. I can also supply the original pcb design or my own version to complete the kit.

We will see if there is any interest. Feel free to email me.

Thanks...

Algar_emi:

I've been toying with the idea of adding a separate motor and controller to my turntable, but would want to install the motor in a separate pod, away from the turntable plinth (a la Teres). Have you given any thought to expanding the scope of your group buy to include a box or cylinder to hold the motor and controller?

Regards,
Scott

I already found an elegant solution for the motor pod from an other user project. It is a BIX Turntable motor pod. You can buy the motor housing alone, prices are (very reasonable I think):

Motor house 80 U$
Pulley 12 U$ (can be use in this project as well

I got the contact info on how to get these parts. From other user, I got that this pod is nicely done, black anodized. Dimension is 9cm height, not including pulley and feet. Rubber feet 3mm tall are removable.


Then, we only need to have a custom top mounting plate and we have a very professional looking motor pod. This is what this user did. Check the picture. I also have the custon plate drawing for this specific motor enclosure.

I can probably arrange for a local machine shop that I know to build the plate for us. Cost should be around 200$ for 4-5 pieces, so about $40 for the top plate.

Here the diagram of the custom mounting plate that fits the BIX motor pod and the Maxon motor.

Already 3 names, maybe four:

Algar_emi 1 motor
kilowattski 1 motor + PCB
kraljmatjaz 1 motor + PCB

Hi algar_emi, is this the same 'stand alone' Bix housing for the motor pod?

I already have the Maxon but interested in the housing + plate.

That the one. We can already get the motor pod, so you can get it by yourself if you like, send me a email.
I can put you on for the custom top plate.
