I might have found something:
http://dkc3.digikey.com/PDF/T032/0642.pdf It's p/n 240-1007-1-ND (13th item, from the top). Specs: Manufacturer: Steward Measurements: 2mm by 1.32 mm by 0.9 mm (I gotta get away from this SMT stuff!) Current rating: 4.5 amps Frequency: 100 MHz Impedence at 100 MHz: 31 Ohms Here's a spec sheet from Steward: http://www.steward.com/web_part_no.a...HI0805Q310R-00 |

Bump!
I just want to make sure I get the right cap. A Radio-Scrap p/n would do! BTW, I've done filtering on a DC motor, in my RC boat, and it involved using a cap between the leads, and a cap between the supply line, and the motor housing. Unfortunately, I lost my data source (link) for the technical explanation |

From the All Electronics website, caps listed as: "disc", "metallized polypropylene", or "mylar" will work fine.
Mylar will probably be smallest. As far as the ferrite, the one you listed is rated for 3A DC as far as I can tell from the catalog page. I'd suggest Digi-Key 240-1013-1-ND on the same page. Rated at 6A and 80 Ohms at 100MHz, plus it's bigger and easier to work with. |

Thank you!
I'll place the order right away. I'm really looking forward to running these off of the PSU array. |

Hello guys (edit:more info to bb2k post about r/c boat)
Maybe i am saying non sense but in the r/c car domain (where you have motor spining a 30k rpm a drawing around 30 amps at startup) They recommend soldering 3 caps to the motor. 1st cap:One lead to the +, the second to the -. 2nd cap: one lead to the +, the second to the can. 3rd cap: one lead to the -, second to the can of the motor. They also recommend for forward only esc (electronic speed controller) to solder a schottky diode from the + to the - to have better performance off power. They do also recommend to twist the motor wire around each others to reduce the emf, so not to have radio problems. for more info and some pictures, you can go read the manuals from one of the esc manufacturer www.teamnovak.com these are the caps used EDIT: forgot to add that they might be using rare earth magnet to get a higher power motor without using more current. I have seen r/c motor about 10 to 20% smaller but they still had the same power rating because they were using samarium-cobalt magnet. Last edited by nuclear; 07-12-2003 at 07:49 AM. |

i finally got my johnson pump in the mail yestday and i was suprised when i opened up the box its TINNY, i was expecting something about a foot or 2, i guess i think on those scale cos i'm a farmer and i usualy work with LARGE pump heh.
anyway i got a few question about the power supply. i'm probably going to plug this sucker into my antec 550watt PSU anyway i think i rember what i need to do to wire it up, but anyway i got a few question. how do you guys plan on bleeding the system without actualy starting up the system, etc.... are you guys planning on yaking the powersupply off the mobo while youre bleeding the system, etc? anyway i'm not sure if i can find a seperate 12v PSU lying around for my 24/hr test run and bleeding run heh, oh well i'm on a farm i'm sure i can scourge it up somewhere |

I'm simply adding a tee in my loop, that will be plugged from under the case.
So to bleed it, I'd prop up the case, unscrew the top and bottom caps, and voila! A liquid mess all over the kitchen table! Thanks for the link, Nuclear! I was using a tiny electric (permanent magnet) electric motor, running off of 2 "C" cells: it's just a scale model, not a racer. |

I'm having to drop the blower I picked out: it's just too big.
The fan wheel is 6 1/4" in diameter, and 3 1/8" thick. The problem though, is that the motor sits outside the fan wheel, for a total thickness of 6 3/8", which is also preventing me from centering the fan over the core. I need a blower that's got the motor inside the fan wheel, like one of those Comair Rotron deals. If everything goes as expected (i.e. Murphy's law), I won't be able to undervolt it to 5 volts, and the power supply doesn't like a 7 volt load, without a matching 5 volt load to match: my PSU shut down, when I hooked up that blower by itself, in a 7 volt configuration. So I'll have to add a speed control. The Surplus Center didn't have anything that matches what I'm looking for. |

I got the caps (and other parts) yesterday.
I opted to take apart the pump, so that I can solder these caps as close as possible, as per Since87's advice. It'll be a bit difficult to put it back together, but it's not as bad as I thought. Those brushes are indeed replaceable. There's a # stamped on them, if it means anything: 46. I can solder the 0.1 and 0.01 uF caps, and the diode, so that they fit inside the pump housing. The bigger cap (1 uF) though, is going to have to sit outside the housing. I'm going to try to drill a couple of small holes on the back cover, and see if I can connect it that way. I'll have to add a bit of wiring, to extend that cap's leads. Putting it back together, the only complicated part is slipping on the brushes over the rotor contacts, but I think it can easily be done, by first seperating the back cover from the assembly that holds the brushes, then partly put it back together, so that I can put the brush springs back in... Piece of cake |

WOW, it really isn't that simple!
The spring arm needs to sit inside the plastic housing, so I can't push the plate over the rotor, then slip the cover over it, otherwise, the spring arms would contact the motor housing (and short out), and prevent the back cover from fitting tightly. The only way to do it, is to complete the assembly, mount the springs, and then use small hooks to pull on the brushes: there's a gap that's about 2 mm wide left, just before the assembly can be closed. Once the brushes are slipped over the rotor, I should be able to close it right. Now to scrounge around the house, to see what I can use... |

Well I ordered two of these pumps about 3 weeks ago and still nothing has arrived on my door. I'm in Australia, and the company is in the USA.
Anyone else noticed anything like a 3 week wait to get their stuff when international? Starting to wonder if they shipped it by sea. |

Hmmm, can anyone tell me if USPS's "4th Class Parcel Post" would mean shipment by sea if sent internationally?

I found an easy trick: cut two pieces of string, about 6 inches long, and run them over the brushes (you have to loop the string under the copper wire). Then tie the ends together. Next, you pull on each string loop, so that you can hold the brushes in place, and slip the back cover on. That'll get the brushes over the rotor. Then cut the string loop, pull it out, and push the cover all the way in. Screw it into place.
Voila! Now I have a nice pump, with the filter caps and the diode inside of it, and a bigger cap sticking out the back, with leads running through a couple of holes drilled in that back cover. I'd have pics, but I had to start a new roll, so I'll only have the shots of the test run, until I finish that film. |

I believe the USPS changed the name of 4th class parcel post to Standard Mail B, though many still refer to it the old way. When I shipped a package International not long ago, the choices were Global Priority, 4-6 days, Airmail Parcel Post, 4-10 days and Economy (Surface) 4-6 weeks. I don't recall any 4th Class/Standard Mail B choices, but 4th class was always surface.

Two pumps were shipped (by airmail - about 1 week) on June, 6th, arrived in Belgium, went back to the US , were reshipped on July, 8th... and still waiting for my pumps. Can't blame Surplus Center, they don't understand either why my order came back... (it was written "round date" on the returned package). CD Edit: 100th post!

Sorry to hear you all having problems getting these pumps.
There's detailed info available at the United States Postal Service website: www.USPS.com , including on-line rate and time calculators. What SCompRacer describes seems accurate. |

sounds like you found a better way to get the brushes/rotor into place. I'll definitely remember it if i ever have a reason to take that thing apart again... |

The string loops work extremely well. I'm really happy with the result. If I had to do anything different, I'd try to return the pump into its "waterproof" state: I'd seal the holes to the big cap with Goop, and re-tape the screw head, of the back cover. I took a whole bunch of pictures of the process. When I get the film developped, I'll put something together. Maybe a good article... Hydrogen18: Series. |

Here's a little flow action:
The outlet is sitting under ~5 inches of water, and still manages to push it up the sides, ~1 inch. Note the beginning of foam. Last edited by bigben2k; 07-24-2003 at 05:40 PM. |

Do the pumps emit much of a magnetic field? Can you hold them near a CRT monitor without distortion?
The only thing keeping me from ordering a mag drive is the magnetic field, and if these didn't have much of a magnetic field, I may get a pair of them

They have a fixed magnetic field, because they're made with permanent magnets, so you can't hold them close to a monitor. As for EMI (variable magnetic field), I really wouldn't know, but I can tell you that the casing is steel, so I wouldn't expect much of anything.
You could run a wire from the case of the pump to ground: I just checked and there's no electrical connection to either lead (while there's one between the leads). A cap would probably be better here, as per the above link on the RC motors. |
