Hi
I bench tested the servo/encoder today. It all worked perfectly. I had the encoder outputs on the oscilloscope. Stable and noise free.
Judging from the remains of the brushes(about 1/2 worn), this motor has had a lot of use. The commutator has visible scratches. I have a lathe, so I could skim the commutator. I doubt that I will use up all it's remaining life.
How difficult is it to rebuild one of these?
