Hi Bas,
in order to keep things simple, I will get the parts for the pcb myself... but count me in for a pulley.

Hi,
I'm interested in a PCB, motor and pulley also. Maybe the whole works depending on the cost and funds available at the time.😀

Some Clarification
I need to clarify a couple of points regarding motors. There are two DC motors mentioned in the article, Maxon part no #110191 and # 226764. The first is OK for higher speed applications (say 600 RPM), the second is better for lower speeds (say 300RPM).
If you are not already committed to one speed, you should note that belt creep increases with step down ratio, so 300 RPM is better than 600 RPM. The motor / controller is good enough that belt creep will become the dominant source of speed variation with a standard soft rubber belt.
Given that the motors come from Maxon in Europe, perhaps one of the European participants can look at sourcing them - if I do it I have to wait 4 weeks for delivery to Australia.
Lastly in answer to Kohjin Yamada
The motors involved here are standard brushed DC motors. I have given up on the EC motor, it is too expensive. If anyone else wants to play with it I would gladly sell the existing EC motor and the control boards for half what it has cost me.

motor controller pcb
Hi Bas
I would like a pcb and maybe a pulley if it is suitable for a linn sondek and a maxon RE-max 29mm 226756 (36v).

Re: motor controller pcb
The controller will work with the lower voltage maxon motors but not quite as well as the higher voltage ones. With the motor you specified I calculate a speed variation of about 0.1% per ohm of effective impedance for a drag force of 10mNm at the platter edge at 300 RPM. The two motors I specified give better performance than this - the 226764 about 0.01% and the 110191 about 0.05%, if the 110191 is used at 600 RPM it improves to about 0.02%. As mentioned above at these levels belt creep becomes more important than motor variation.

Hi Mark,
I'm currently using a Clearaudio Champion Magnum (thick platter). Do you think the 226764 can drive it well?

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Basic answer: Yes.
DC motors deliver a large amount of torque at lower speeds so accelerating the platter is not a problem.
Hi Mark, thanks for the reply. I hope you don't mind another one-
- What kind of pulley will be supplied?
- That pulley will dictate the kind of belt, right? So what kind of belt will I need?
- Do you have friends there in Oz who own a Clearaudio and used the kits?
Thanks again for you patience. I am contemplating on a motor, board with standard parts, and pulley.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the info’. I’ve already bought the motor, it was expensive, so I’ll have to make the best of it. I calculate that with an 8mm dia pulley and the linn sub-platter dia of 160mm that gives a ratio of 20:1. So 33.33rpm x 20 = about 667 rpm. Given a speed constant of 185rpm/v this implies a drive voltage of about 3.6volts.
So if my motor is running at over 600rpm will the speed variation drop to below 0.1%? Also you say “0.1% per ohm of effective impedance”, what is the effective impedance in this case?
Thanks again
regards
Matt

We haven't yet decided on what to do as the "standard" pulley - I was going to ask Vinyl Addict to look at this. I would encourage the use of a tape belt as they will give better performance than a rubber belt.
No I don't know anyone with a Clearaudio.
Matt Rowland said:
The higher speed reduces the variability from the motor but the smaller diameter of the subplatter increases it, you should get better than 0.04% with that combination. The effective impedance is the sum of the winding resistance of the motor (about 9 ohms for your motor) and the output impedance of the supply which is variable to suit, you should be able to achieve better than one ohm.
BTW the higher speed and the smaller diameter both serve to increase belt creep so if you stay with the standard Linn belt this will dominate over the motor variation.
Hi Mark,
Would the controler work with with a Maxon A-max 7W 6 nominal V motor type 110182 ?
Thanks

No, the motor voltage is too low, you would need to run it at around 250mV for 300 rpm.
Tape or Mylar belt
Has anyone made their own and if so can you provide me with the information I need to make my own. I need a belt with a circumference at least 44".
I am currently using a flat rubber belt from Turntable basics. It is inexpensive at $10 and readily available. #FRM 38.8
I can machine pulleys for the Maxon 110191 motor or any Maxon motor with a 3mm spindle. It is somewhat of a challenge to make pulleys for any other mounting plate than my own design because the shaft of the motor doesn't extend very far. If anyone needs a pulley, they can go to Maxon's site and download the PDF engineering doc. and you can see what limitations you are dealing with.
My current setup is: 12.240" platter driven by the Maxon #110191 motor and 0.430 diameter crowned pulley. This allows the motor to run at approx. 949 rpm @ 33 1/3 and 1,280 rpm @ 45 rpm.
I have made a custom cutting tool to machine crowned pulleys. The widest belt it will accept is 5/16" (8mm). It works perfectly with flat rubber belts, however I would like to try using a mylar or tape belt but have no source. I will probably have to machine a different profile pulley for the mylar belt.Mark Kelly said:

Hi Mark, I have a no-name DC-motor running on a 12V Led-battery
driving a 320 mm Scheu platter (80mm heavy) with a plastic pulley taken of a toy car. Not satisfactory.
I would be interested in PCB with Deluxeparts and a pulley.
Can you recommend a DC Motor that would fit this setup and run on 12v ?
best regards hk,
vinyl collection still growing after 25yrs.

Both of the Maxon motors I mentioned will suit. The 226764 will give better performance at 300 rpm but will require a 35mm diameter pulley for 33 1/3 RPM. The 110191 would allow you to use a smaller pulley or run both 33 and 45 rpm.
motor prices
I am ultimatly intrested in a pcb. I have most of the other parts avalible. As long as a parts layout and list is included. It would ultimatly me helpfull if this was provided for both simple and complex versions.
As for motors i did some checking with maxon in the us and got some numbers. They have a minimum order of 205 dollars. for ordering a quantity of 1 - 4 it would costs 106.70 each for 5 - 19 it would costs 83.90. this is for 110191 .
IF someone else can get it cheaper let me know, i would also be intrested in a pulley, i do plan on running this at 33.3 and 45 rpm.
I have a question, I have a neat power brink from an old apple laptop i wanted to incorperate into the design of the moter controller. Mostly because it is round and clear. IT puts out 24 volts and 1.8 (i think) amps. Is there a simple circut someone could point me to that would drop the voltage down to the required 18 volts for this controller. and or should i just build a battery powersource with a charging / on switch. I have an old ups with 18 gel batterys i could use (and I am willing to sell the rest if anyone is intrested)
Thanks for even reading all of my rantings

Re: motor prices
There is no need to drop the 24 volts to 18, it just means that the preregulator will dissipate more power and therefore require more heatsinking. Since the next stage is a CCS set to around 200mA the preregulator is well inside its limits, it can be fed with anything up to 36 volts.
I would encourage you to use battery power as I like it a lot. A very easy circuit to charge the batteries using your laptop power supply can be constructed for a few dollars using the excellent LT200C current limiting voltage regulator.
L200C datasheet
Figure 27 on the datasheet works, I use a slight modification but I'm not at my own computer at the moment so I can't post the details.
