Thumler Tumble UV-18, bad motor.

[Uriah, SASS # 53822]

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

Been with them a looong time, there is even a story. AFAIK you can still get OEM parts. http://www.thumlerstumbler.com/rotary.html

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.

 

Thanks,

Uriah

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.

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.
