How to Remove a Drive Motor
The drive motors are AC powered and are a
brushless design requiring very little maintenance.
They have built-in speed and temperature sensors
which are monitored by the turntable controller
(TCON) and the platform controller (PCON). The
speed sensor is a Hall-effect type and is part of the
rear motor shaft bearing. The temperature switch
will shut down the drive motor if it becomes
excessively hot.
