Q: Capstan motor replacement on Yamaha Multitrack
I have a Yamaha MT8X multitrack deck, the capstan motor has failed.
The 12Vdc capstan servo motor drives a capstan drum with a belt, I replaced the belt but the motor is really defective. I removed the motor, applied 12Vdc to it and I have to spin the pulley with my fingers to get it going, but it stops turning after few seconds. This is a MMI-6H2LWK motor that turns at 3.75ips, I have in my possesion what looks like a direct replacement a Mabuchi motor EG-530KD-2B the specs show it turns at 1600/3200Rpm but don't know for sure if its a direct replacement, does anyone know if it is? or could help me figure it out? Thanks for the help/suggestions |

Q: Capstan motor replacement on Yamaha Multitrack
It may be less time consuming to just order the original but if you know
what you're doing it's not going to hurt to put the replacement motor in. Don't forget to write down what wires go where. Don't trust your memory. Once you get it in if the tape speed is too fast or slow you can try adjusting the capstan speed. This speed control is sometimes located inside the motor accessible from the back of the motor through an access hole (carefully use a small precision philips screwdriver). If it is not inside the motor then it will be on the main board usually where the motor's wires are soldered in. It wouldn't be a bad idea to also order a service manual for it from Yamaha.

Q: Capstan motor replacement on Yamaha Multitrack
Put it in and see if the tape runs at the correct speed. There should be a
controller circuit adjustment if the speed is close, but not dead on. Some motors have internal mechanical governors which are a pain to adjust, but not impossible. jak "Eddy" wrote in message m...

Yamaha may send me a Mabuchi motor just the same so why not take a few minutes or days to figure if this motor is indeed a direct replacement, it may infact be the same one Yamaha would send me. the MMI-6H2LWK turns at 3.75ips the Mabuchi turns at 1600/3200Rpm....they both have the same voltage ratings How to figure out if the speed is the same..? Anyone know how to convert these two? thanks again.. |

Q: Capstan motor replacement on Yamaha Multitrack
The original motor is a Panasonic (Matsu****a) motor.
You could try a Panasonic distributor and see if they can get it for you. Mark Z. -- Please reply only to Group. I regret this is necessary.

Capstan motor replacement on Yamaha Multitrack
If you have dial calipers or a micometer you can calculate the revolutions
per second needed. RPS = IPS / Circumference RPS = Revolutions per second or RPM/60 IPS = Inches per second Circumference = 3.14 (pi) times diameter The capstan flywheel and the capstan motor pulley provide an RPM stepdown. Capstan pully diameter/ Flywheeel Diameter provides the ratio. for example if the capstan pully is 1/6 the diameter of the flywheel, then the lywheel( and capstan) rotates at 1/6th the RPM of the capstan motor. bg Eddy wrote in message . ..
