Uriah, SASS # 53822 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Folks, Has anyone we replaced the motor on a Thumler UV-18, vibratory tumblers? I’ve been all over the Internet, they don’t have a direct replacement. The motor on Thumler’s is a Fasco 1/30 hp, 3000 rpm, No. 7121-5777 The closest motor I could come up with is from Grainger: FASCO HVAC Motor: Open Air-Over, 1/30 HP, 3,000 Nameplate RPM, 1 Speed, 115V AC, Stud Mount, CWSE The shaft a little long, but, that’s all I can see. Has anyone have another suggestion? Thanks, Uriah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Been with them a looong time, there is even a story. AFAIK you can still get OEM parts. http://www.thumlerstumbler.com/rotary.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uriah, SASS # 53822 Posted July 14 Author Share Posted July 14 Rip Snorter, The UV-18 was purchased in 1980 and it gives great service. All it needs is a motor replacement. I have seen threads from 2009 with the same problem, no motor replacement. Respondent to the thread had no help, other than by a Dillon. I tried to contact out them two years ago by email, contract us, and got no response. I sent another, thru “contract us”, two days ago,. We”ll see.

Hoss Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 I replaced mine with one from Grainger. Don’t recall the # but it certainly worked. Only issue was it got hot as a $3 pistol. Not sure if the original got that hot or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uriah, SASS # 53822 Posted July 14 Author Share Posted July 14 Rip Snorter, I called them direct and talk with Al. He said they can send me a motor for $115, SOLD. Thank you for not giving up on me. Uriah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
