Central locking motor

[cjaysx]

Hi,

Looking to repair a central locking actuator.
The gears and case I can service, just wondering if anyone know what dc motor to use as its rusted solid.

Thanks, Colin

Found a work around, t4 actuators with a conversion loom. If anyone does find the motor I'd be interested to see if I can get it to work though.

Cheers, Colin

I'm sure I have a couple somewhere. I will have a root in the sheds.

Bühler motor by the look of it. Like this one ; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325476572379?hash=item4bc7ea5cdb:g:ziwAAOSwtNxjqSl2&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4AX24tMKLoVleQ%2FhXHNX35hhqmzFQGOGSYchTwzGHQ1K0q1OyzdIeUCvOkxKjbYdKDw12j53pm7ItAlauSa4YqD2tMy22SADiFTvVGc%2B3ZOZsp9RpjdxAc4OlP8hCuEgOgTwuhqFE5nY75DR%2FewDrXDT%2FGGJVdBH83ztaNaeWjZtPM5FkypAWKsYQj9XRzgXOqmBSOB3p7Yktr3djaA5rj2gWgyvxlGWImmzUCVQtCo0djBlwQHQeI3ivIfom6VY9OXk1iS4XXpn1bDLsmjjE%2Bnpa2viCyHIDxBtIbhpnUDM%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR_yyneTKYg

Problem is - which one, they make hundreds.


I have resurrected ones like that, usually salvageable with new bearings.

Hard to tell from the picture but it's a squished oval motor. I've had a look online but can't find any with the right dimensions - will post more info tomorrow. Again, I have a work around which I'm happy to use, but would be good to get them working again if possible.

Thanks, Colin

These on eBay but Chinese so made of chocolate I’d imagine.

Ahh, I've seen a few of the slightly smaller ones, the motor body length is around 45mm from memory - one size up (which seem impossible to find unless it's got a special name lost to history and time)

Rebuild that motor - easiest option.

I agree. The tags can be bent back and the motors pulled apart. It's often just the brushes fallen apart. I used brushes from an old Scalectrix car motor which were identical. Fiddly old job, but has lasted 5 years.

That one will need the bearings replaced also. The dodgy bit will be removing the worm drive without it cracking.

I have repaired loads of those small motors as they are used in the Webasto Air Top 2000 heaters in various forms.

I'll have a play later and see if I can take the motor apart, from looking at it though I think it's rusted solid. The worm drive comes off easily enough though.

Found a working motor if you want it fella.

Hi Rob, yes please! I'm pm over my details shortly.

Pictures as promised for anyone else who's interested in hunting for future reference.

Cheers, Colin
