-
If the commutator runout is within the service limit, check the commutator for carbon dust or brass chips between the segments.
-
If the commutator run out is not within the service limit, replace the armature.
Commutator runout
Standard (New): 0.02 mm (0.0008 in.) max
Service limit: 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
7. Check the mica depth (A). If the mica is too high (B), undercut the mica with a hacksaw blade to the proper depth. Cut away all the mica (C)
between the commutator segments. The undercut should not be too shallow, too narrow, or v-shaped (D).
Commutator mica depth
Standard (New) : 0.4 - 1.0 mm (0.01 57 - 0.0394 in.)
Limit : 0.2 mm (0.0079 in.)
8. Check for continuity between the segments of the commutator. If an open circuit exists between any segments, replace the armature.
9. Check with an ohmmeter that no continuity exists between the commutator (A) and armature coil core (B), and between the commutator and
armature shaft (C).
If continuity exists, replace the armature.
