Hi l know this is an older post so I really hope you reply to me question. I wired my washing machine motor 220v and used the Chinese motor speed controller you used. All going good, BUT...... after approx of running 30 seconds or so the motor starts to act its momentarily loosing power supply kicking off on off on. Just like I would be hitting the stop button on and off. I don't have any loose connections. If I power it off it will run again for another 30 seconds or so and then repet the shuttering again. Anyway idea why. I have the motor running in reverse only to suit my project and the brushes seem good. Please help. Regards Eddie

Hi there. Thank you for the video. Really helpful. I'm trying to do the same thing to replace the burnt out motor on my lathe with a washing machine motor. All wired up correctly I believe, fitted, but the motor doesn't seem to have any torque at all. It barely turns the chuck on its own and as soon as I couch it, I can easily stop it. Have you had this problem and do you have any ideas? Thank you!

Just the opposite, are you sure you have a Universal Motor and not the smaller capacitor start motors also used in washing machines. I had the opposite, my problem was slowing it down enough as the Universals run at around 16,000 RPM and the Capacitor start versions 1470 RPM. Thanks for watching. 👍

I posted this video between episodes 5 & 6. I published episode 104 yesterday, so yes I'm still around. Seems I didn't really give you the right answer to your question, on the back of the Universal Motors from washing machines, not sure about others, there is a tachometer sensor that counts revolutions of the motor, those 2 wires connect to that, and the speed controller can tell if load is being applied to it, when the revolutions start to drop it will try to compensate for the load and try and keep the revolutions as constant as it can. Your motor doesn't have one, so they are of no use to you, just leave them unconnected. 👍

This speed regulator only work on special kind of motors that have a hall-effect dome attached on its end, The hall effect dome are already available on washing machine motors. Thats why I didn't succes in my first attempt, because my motor didn't have the dome. Later I have experimented on an induction motor which I've modified by adding a self made hall-effect dome, and it works! The hall effect dome can be easily made from a plastic bobbin, a few 0,15 mm laminated wire (or magnet wire in some country), and a magnetic rotor (I obtained this rotor from a used aquarium-pump). Just take out the magnetic rotor and make some necessary modification to attach the rotor on the back end of the induction motor shaft. Make sure it is well centered. The bobbin and the wire make a coil for about 200 windings, an then put this coil around the magnetic rotor. The two wire comes out from the winding is connected to both blue wires from the US-52 speed controller. It worked perfect!
