Electric splitter

[pete23]

Very good service!! I have a little 7ton splitter been a great bit of kit, although just started leaking a little bit of Hyd oil.

i have one sometimes it may get stuck, so i give it a light smack, plugout and plug back in maachine and it works

Sometimes motor would stick sometimes it would spin every time but as often as not it would spin in reverse and therefore the ram wouldn't move, I guess oil pump doesn't work in reverse. No idea why it spins wrong way!

Maybe the mouse that spins the motor to give it its direction has gone on strike because it's too wet and cold. Keep it dry and warm next time and it should be more cooperative.

Replace the capacitor

Replace the capacitor

 

How would the capacitor failing make the motor spin backwards?

[Mull]

Replace the capacitor

 

 

Yep, tried that

Had the same problem on a electric winch something about a faulty capacitor creating uneven magnetic fields which caused irregular rotation

 

I'm no expert just what I was told

Could be a few things. There is normally a centrifugal switch or possibly a timer that switches the start windings out when the motor has run up to speed. Could be this or the start windings or anything in this circuit including the capacitor of course.

It gives the motor it's direction by changing the timing of the voltage in the start winding relative to the run winding. No start circuit and it's 50/50 which direction the motor runs.
