Fliteboard use which brand motor company?
Hello all, I am starting to build my efoil. I got the SSS 56104 KV1000 motor. I read that the best gear ratio is 5:1 but what kind of flange should I use? I intend to house the motor into an aluminum pipe but the gear box flange does not fit into the pipe. So looks like I will have to 3D print a coupler to hold the gearbox to the aluminum pipe. Am I correct? if so what flange do you recommend? NEMA17, NEMA23 or NEMA34?
Thanks in advance.
All the best!
Yes you will need to make an adapter. See here I machined it to fit any SSS on the Torqeedo gearbox. Mezzanine posted the design a while ago.
The torqueedo would be a good fit for the 1000kv by the way
Hey, Nema 23 works fine. But you have to do some rework first. And you would need a lathe to do.
I recently disasamled mine after arroud 100 hours riding time, and i could not find any wear.
I just used a Pin in the bearing shield which fits into the end of my pod.
There are some pics. Right now i dont have detailed pictures of all the single parts.
