Reference thread, specifically about QS motors https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1539180#p1539180
I had thought that only mechanical design issues determined whether or not FF could be used in a given motor?
But apparently it is (of course) more complex than that.
Thought a generalized thread would be useful for discussing the various factors
and collecting a list of motors that will
A. definitely be OK
B. definitely are not compatible, and
C. the in-between cases
Let's try to keep to the ferrofluid aspect, or at least just tolerating & shedding heat,
rather than discussing other aspects of motor's performance.
Any other reports of FF loosening the magnets on QS motors, or otherwise dissolving the glue holding them in place?
Other manufacturers' motors?
Is the problem easily fixed by the user?
Are there safer types of FF formulations?
Sample format for further reports:
MOTOR MAKE/MODEL:
FF BRAND:
TIME TO FAILURE:
REGULAR TEMPERATURE REACHED:
