Re-wind of a turnigy 80/100 (Now-tutorial w/Video)

Postby Thud » Thu Aug 12, 2010 5:26 pm

Edit:
Rather than starting a new thread I thought I would add this info here. We will tear down & re-wind a brand new Turnigy 80/100-130 from scratch.

Step 1-Disasembly:
#1 inspect the shaft for any nicks or bump that would impead the removal through the bearings.
#2 remove the 4 inside bolt circle 5mm cap head bolts & remove the end cap (its a light press fit & pops off easily)
once removed your motor looks like this: (notice the yellow Phase wire was actually shorting to the end plate..this is a brand new never run motor!)
Image

#3 remove the circlip & spacer...& the 4 screws holding the skirt bearing to the can. use a proper fitting screwdriver as the screws are kinda soft.

#4 Using a plastic faceed hammer, gently tap the end of the shaft a few times, this will losten the skirt bearing from the can, once free we are ready to press the can off the motor.
Image

#4 press the magnet can out of the bearing tube. You see I am using the stock motor mount to gain some purchase, I use a singe bolt from the end cap. My technique is to hold the motor mount with my index fingers & press the shaft out with my thumbs.If the shaft is properly smooth it will slide right out.
BE CAREFULE the magnets are very strong & if you change your grip you can potentialy receive a nasty pinch.
Image
Image

you see I had a slight burr on the end of the shaft & its hanging in the bearing race. i just installed a 4mm cap head screw & tapped it through gently.
Now you can tap the skirt bearing off the bearing tube. use gentle taps & apply preasure 180 degrees to the bearing & it will pop right off. Next remove the bearings from the tube, I use a length of 10mm rod witha very square face on it, reach through on end to catch the inside race of a bearing. Now alternate tap's in 180 degree incremants & the bearing should slide out also.
congrats. you have diassasembled your motor & it looks like this.
Image

In close up you can see sevearl "flyers" or loose wires scattered about the stator.Lots of human error found throughout the assembly...several single strand shorts were obvious..but these are wound with 90ish strands of 33g wire so I don't really know if this motor would survive very long in its intended applicaion. My big concern is the shorted phase wire...so I dremeld all the razer egdes back & smoothed any areas that may come in contact with the wires
Image

FREASH WINDINGS
Lets get rid of this original set up & build us a motor, that you can't buy.

1st I use a cut off wheel on the mighty dremel & make a slot through the super glue the cheaters used to holde the windings on the stator. We are very careful not to cut down to the stator & damge the precious green epoxy insulation on the stator.
Image

Once through the boundry layer of glue I use a utility knife to cut the remaning windings. Careful fiddling witha Jewlers screwdriver & needle nose plires will clean the stator.


RE-WINDING
This motor origanly was an 8 turn/delta & will become a 6turn/wye with 2x 14g wire.
Just to over veiw the changes:
(all #s taken from "Drive Calculator")

parameters----------Stock-------rewind
coper cross section--18.9--------25.0
R (mohms)------------30.1-------13.5
Delta R ---------------20.1--------9.0
WYE R-----------------60.2-------27.0
COPPER GRAMS-----254.5------357.7

Addendum: just confirmed the re-wound kv is 133
I spun the motor in a lathe at 800 rpms & it genrates 6.01v on each phase
rpm/volts=kv IIRC.


You can see the re-wind video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7i_GIXxUlQM (remember...low expectaions)
Here it is all wound up & ready to rock.

Image
& next to another stocker:
Image


Additional Notes:
I did not take the stator off the bearing tube for this project.
must build a decent Dyn-O- mom-O- meter...need to re-read Jeremys links on load sensors. :P
hope this answers a few questions I been getting via PM's

Added 4/28/2011: Winding information to answer questions about KV & wire Lengths
1st is a chart of turns & expected KV result. This is completely credited to MrJerremy Harris, & has proven to be a valuable quic referance for me.
ve been trying to reverse engineer the constant to estimate Kv for this size motor, based on the sparse data we have at the moment. This is what I've come up with in terms of turns and Kv:

Turns - Kv
1 - 1060
2 - 530
3 - 353
4 - 265
5 - 212
6 - 177
7 - 151
8 - 132
9 - 118
10 - 106
11 - 96
12 - 88
13 - 82
14 - 76

These figures are pretty much the best fit I can get to the known data points and would apply equally to someone rewinding an 80-100 motor.

Again, Thanks to Jeremy Harris.

I have found this chart to be super acurate with the 80/100 turnigys & all rpm's are assumed terminated in Delta...
for the Lower rpm Wye termination, Divide by 1.73 to get your Kv example- 132/1.73= 76kv
See how flexable these are for getting anything you want? :D

Next are some Jpeg's of drive calculator with some winding senario's
I compair the copper cross section's & resistance values of the wind senario..to get an idea of what I will end up with.

that ought to get a few guys introuble :mrgreen:

Added 5/21/2011:
I have been testing & blowing bicycle controllers for almost a year...I have a small 63mm motor running in external halls that allways just worked....& have been fooling around with external hall sensors on the 80mm motors...today I went internal and can finaly say. The XieChang controllers will operate the motors satifactorily.
1st time out: NO throttle cut outs, wheelie power in low gear is restored! still a little soft on the high gear acceleration, but I am only programed for 88 phase amps ATM...controller ran cool, motor runs cool after a mile or WFT. time to ship this one out & ake some one famouse!


******************Begining of Original Post starts here******************

Hey guy's,
thought you may like to follow along on my rebuild for the Aussie Jester's smoked motor.

Here is some data
original wind 8 turns DLRK with 98 strands of .007" magnet wire (33awg od metric .18)

I will attempt a 7 turn DLRK with 2 strands of 14AWG wire (the good stuff 200c) 1 strand is = to 82 strands of 33 gage.
(edit: corrected strand equivency :oops: )
This by my math is doubling the effective amount of copper in the stator. Here are some teaser photos to get the ball rolling.

see the shorted coil?:
Image
Image
upon inspection it looks like a loose section of winds just ran into a thermal runaway not being able to heat sink into the rest of the coils & ultimatly the rest of the motor. cooked of the insulation & only got worse from there.

1/2 hour with a heat gun got the stator loos from the bearing tube.
Image
Image

Its too hot to keep working so I am going fishing now. back later with some updates. :twisted:

This is a hard piece of work...

It would be nice, if you have time to take some measurements of the winding area!? :mrgreen:

fruits of this afternoons labor.

the wire:
Image

getting started:
Image

an hour & 1/2 later:
Image
Image

here it is against a stock 80/100-130:
Image

I recounted the winding wire I striped from the old stator & found some discrpancys. One bundle was 98 wires the other I counted 88....twice. soo QC is what you would expect from an early turnigy. Still has the old HXT can style..

Re-checking the area of the wire by diameter 14g=82 strands of the 33g of the original. This is now a 6-1/2 turn double14awg. I have effectivly doubled the ammount of copper in this baby. Hello tourque (assuming its available before saturation)
we will dyno it against a stock 130kv later next week when the new bearings are deliverd. (Although technicly it is closer to 180kv)
my fingers hurt from pulling monster wire......check back later.

Holy sh*t Thud! You did it! And such a nice job! That makes my hands ache just to look at it, but wow! That is the real deal there! You've just turned 1 HXT motor into 2. That motor is going to be sooooo powerful! And its never going to get warm!

Such a nice job Thud!

Pass a known current value through one of the phases (like the wire cut mode on an RC charger), and measure the voltage across the winding, then divide by current and you know the winding resistance.

With winding resistance and kv, we can crank some numbers on this bad boy. :)

Thanks for the props LFP. (my fingers aged ten years today)
Lets use the wire length.
14gage =2.525 ohm per 1000' =12,000"
140" of wire on each phase
.029 ohms per wire div x 2 wires= .0145 ohms per phase.

(damm....thats gonna be a tough unit to controll! :mrgreen: :twisted: )

close enough?
Cause you will have to wait till I get the energy to get back downstairs... :D i will follow up when i get back down there.

sure could use a nice 300 amp controller to test these motors with :wink:

A shivering ICE160 is sitting in the corner somewhere on it's knees begging you to group those phases in wye... lol :) But he isn't that lucky! Ha! Some twisted part of me actually loves every time a perfect silicon junction turns into plasma ions and ash. :)

For the folks that don't fully appreciate the significance of what Sir Thudly has done here, he has just turned the power capability of that motor into the power capability of two motors.

That single big HXT motor is equal to, or more powerful than the pair of big HXT motors I run on my bike.

(Which is precisely why I MUST rewind both of mine now. :twisted: :twisted: Maybe shoot for 260kv with double copper on each motor. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: )

Hey Luke,
How up to speed on winding lingo are you?

As I understood DLRK from the rc websights & from guru's like ron vansommer something or other (sorry ron) The total turns would be shared by the ajoining tooth....so an 8 turn motor would be 4 turns "A" then 4 turns "a" then onto the next set in the 3 phase parralelling.

These turnigys are described as 6-or 8 turns....but Aj's had 8 turns on each tooth.....
in true LRK language, wouldn't this be a 16 turn??
I have 6-1/2 turns on each tooth either way...
get some......

As I said in pm Thud excellent job buddy, I am so very very appreciative
and equally amazed :idea: Thudmiester, not only do we have the makings of a frock killing
machine but a motor that would have a 3220 Astro as an appetizer :mrgreen: (Take nothing away from
the Astro 3220, and i still will have me one....one day )

Luke, honestly You have no idea the smile that put on my face when i read it...

Remembering also Luke, this motor will be hooked to one of Thudsters 2 Speed boxes, I already
have a ev grin (I'm serious!!) just thinking about this setup!

I will be running it on a Infineon too Luke, i am guessing here though a 12fet is out of the question? I'm scared
even thinking about anything over 44v after using it in stock config haha! You think 66v is still the shot
Luke or will 44v make it 'sing' well enough...? I know stock on 44v it is enough for me, just the reliability was the issue
the way i like to ride it, i.e same as Thud & Luke...2 speeds...it's either stop or WOT no in between hahaa...

Seriously though, Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou Thud :!: simply OUT-Freakin-Standing SiR I owe you large :wink:

KiM

p.s FISHING!! We have yet another thing in common! What you fish for i'm guessing Bass?

It is always really difficult to believe at first sight that there is more copper in your rewind in comparison to the original, the eyes see much more "volume" of copper with the thinner strands !! Still amazing how insulation and diameter of wire make up a total amount of volume of copper :) A Power/size density application example in real life working progress...always great to see how it's been done.

If copper fill is the major important factor here , and forgetting about saturation just for the moment , has there been a attempt to rewind such a design of motor with isolated copper foil ? (that may gradually get both less in height/width as it fills up to the end of the turns) I am sure it must have been done before like to know if that really works or not !

What controller requirements would be needed for driving the motor here rewinded ? Must be much tougher....(edit : I see in the mean time while I posted this discussion has begun)

My compliments to Sir Thudley also! Looking forward to the dyno graphs for sure.

On a side, but related note, does anyone know if there is a "wire and stator calculator" like the one shown for inrunners?

here you go bigmoose,
http://www.drivecalc.de/
(edit 8/16-it just occured to me you are inquireing about innrunners....if your doing a single tooth wind I would think this one will work...you will have to do the math on a distributed wind...my geometrical guess would depend on how many coils you planed sorry BM, comprehension is the 1st thing to go after the gray hair falls out :P )
its an rc oriented calcultor but has many nice options in the tools file. as far as graphs...hehe they will all be manual. I have a tach, a watt meter & a prony brake.I will try to keep al things close but for a nice computer analysis....well enough said. (i spend all my research money on lipo these days 8) )

highflight, yes it doesn't seem like it can be done but the calc was right. that stator weighs more than the stock wound stator on the bearing tube, with bearings in it & long motor leads with conectors.....I doubt i could have gotten the 8 turns it said would fit......the increadle Hulk maybe could....i am just a puny human :lol:

AJ, if it swims I fish for it. we have good size salmon & trout in the big lake & rivers, bass, panfish & northern pike in every pond & lake. Walley & perch are plentyfull also. I could go on forever. My wife even loves to fish for trout in the smaller wading streams (& whoops me every time out). michigan is a sports mans paradise.

That is an attention getting statment to say the least.
Lets put it into some context & keep it as "real" as possible.
Its no secret I am in search of some seriouse power. One of the things I know is: big wire=big tourqe (at least in 540size RC car motors I am familure with) I naturaly (foolishly?)assumed it would carry over in larger scale app's.
I received a nice PM from Olaf this morning & he raised a few very legit questions regarding power claims in these threads & our current controller issues trying to unleash all this ther-o-reticle power.

If i am designing a comuter for max effiancy, I wind a motor that will sip ampers & turn reasonably slow & pick a voltage that is easy to charge & fits my budget in regard to amp hours needed for normal usage. Then build a transmision to maintain the motor in its max efficent range throughout its operating envelope. thats a complete package.

For performance. we find the limits of current technoligy. & build as close to the line as we can afford & see what breaks 1st when we cross it a little bit. Right now controllers severly limit the potential of these motors.

Every time I start to ponder the dive systems & our limitations, I arive at the same conclusion. Gearing is the key to keeping our systems operating inside their designed operating range. It solves all the issues when we have a limited range of power available. motor or controllers.

The controller will definitely get owned. We knew this though, and its not like AJ doesn't know Tue price of performance means exploded controllers.

Throw sensors in that thing in anticipation. And as a band-aid fix, we can throw some inductors in line to help the RC controller.

Hi Thud,
did you've had trouble unwinding the old wires? Is it all gooped in some resin?
-Olaf

BTW: I remember the motor was singing a lot in AJ's videos. Maybe that was due to the 98/88 strands...

olaf,
I heated the motor up to break the resin down on the bearing tube...I asume it broke any glue down on the wingings also. Looks like they use some cyano-acrylate glue to keep the windings in place Or AJ put some resin on the end-windings when setting it up. Eiher way, after getting it to 400f it all comes apart rather simply.

I heated the motor up to break the resin down on the bearing tube...I asume it broke any glue down on the wingings also. Looks like they use some cyano-acrylate glue to keep the windings in place Or AJ put some resin on the end-windings when setting it up. Eiher way, after getting it to 400f it all comes apart rather simply.



Nope not me Thudsters, i only applied epoxy to the magnets buddy anything else was done at the factory...

Curious, with the bigger wire, the startup tune.... wont do it with thick wires will it Thudster?it's No biggy

Thud,

I am curious as to why you went with a half wind. Do you feel doing 1/2's are easier or was it to get maximum fill with the wire chosen?

Drewjet,
I tried 3 times to make it a full 7 turns.....fail.
added the 1/2 turn to use as much copper as I could.
get some......

I just bought 12 of this FET:

http://ixdev.ixys.com/DataSheet/L401.pdf

Each package has the high-side and low-side fet in them. Designed around being a motor phase leg FET.

250gr per package! That means 12 of them come out to be 6.6lbs, just in FET weight!

MSRP on them is $384 per FET package... I got 12 of them for $400. :) :) :)

This is a FET that would drive that motor like it was taking a walk in the park. :) But it has it's own problems that need to be overcome... like slow switching times, and the gate driver setup for it needs to be like a small controller by itself. lol
For ebike parts, don't be a douche, buy from http://www.ebikes.ca or http://www.MethTek.com
