Not sure that I really understand what happened.  Is the clamp in question a collet?  Did a magnet inside the motor break or come loose?

Dear all

Had Someone problems with EFlite  32?
I'm  trying to use spinner but the original system that uses a clamp (I don know if the name is correct) don't hold the propeller in place and when this happen the motor broke magnet part.

Thank. You

Guil,

The collet (clamp) is made of fairly soft aluminum. (vs the steel shaft and prop nut) If you over tighten the collet you will expand the taper and ruin the collet. They are very powerful and only need to be medium tight. (no explosions trying to shake the prop loose) Think of the collet just like a glow plug... cheap and indispensable. If in doubt, replace it with a new one.

I think the prop coming loose caused an imbalance and the magnets and stator touched. The air gap is fairly small. You could try taking it apart and using just a very small amount of JB Weld or CA to glue it back in. Clean the area well before gluing and wipe away any squeeze out. I have built complete motors and this is not a hard thing to do.

The EFlite series is not a high end motor. Some minor problems could be expected. You might also check your bearings.

If the prop came off and the motor screamed out then too much heat made the magnet come out and break also might have melted the insulation on your wires. You can try to glue the magnet back in but still might not work because of melted wires.

Does the throttle try to maintain set rpm, or is there just a moment of rev or torque change?  I actually remember a friend loosing a prop with KR timer and there was not over rev, but the KR uses a sensor wire for rpm and has the governor in the timer.

Dear Fred

The magnets broken

The collet loose and after this happen the motor get hard to turn .
When I open the magnets were broken

Thanks for the explanation.  I'm happy that it got some discussion for you.

Do you mean the prop adapter?

Normally when a prop adapter comes loose the prop assembly just flies off the end of the motor without immediately damaging anything -- any damage that happens comes later, when the prop or the airplane smacks into something.

This is known as a "collet type" prop adapter in English:

Thank you  Tim

This is exactly what I was trying to say.

Do you know if is possible to change this prop adapter to a different type?
My Hyperion and Cobra motor have a different prop adapter .
Thank you

This is the prop adapter I use with a spinner.

It works with a 5mm motor shaft and it has a 6mm prop shaft and nut.

Hi Chris

thank you but I´m looking for some prop adapter that use bolts  like Cobra Motors
Do you know where I can find it ?

Thank you

Guil

Are you front or rear mounting your motor?


Warren

Mounting position makes a difference in bigger planes.

I just happens to have an E-flite 32 with perfectly good magnets but the stator has an issue..  I might be interested in the stator if it is in good shape.    or maybe vice versa

Joe

I have interest

I´m using this motor  with the magnets broken , and until now is working normally .

I will buy cobra prop adapter ,that uses bolts  and use it .

Thank you

Guil
