How to make a grinder or sharpener from a washing machine engine

If you don't know where to use the motor from, make a grinder. This is one of the simplest "alterations" of the washer engine. The most a big problem in the assembly of the grinder - to ensure a good, stable fastening of the grindstone to the motor shaft, most often a special flange is used.

Consider in detail all the stages of work:

Illustration	Action Description
	For work, we need an engine from a 180 V washing machine, at 1400 rpm. Too powerful engine should not be chosen. The first stage is the insulation of the wires.
	We mark the grinding wheel under the adapter. Moreover, to fasten the hub, it is necessary to use a washer and a nut with a thread directed in the direction opposite to the rotation of the shaft. Otherwise, it will spin up and the whetstone will fly off at the first start.
	We cut metal corners, they can be cut from sheets of 8 mm. We fasten the motor to the frame with the help of bolts.
	We assemble all the elements of the grinding disc and test run.
	Next stage painting and welding to the base
	At the end of the work, surface decoration with abrasive material. The easiest way is to use double-sided tape for this purpose. By the same principle, you can make a sharpener from a washing machine with your own hands.

"If you need to change the direction of rotation of the grinder rotor from the washing machine, for induction motors it is enough to switch the corresponding windings. If you do not have a starting coil, then when you push the stone in the right direction, the device will work on its own.

Wood lathe

In this homemade product, the most difficult thing is to weld the correct frame for the base. The lathe must necessarily have a stable base. The frame can be made from corners and profiles, and other improvised materials. Most importantly, the motor axis should be aligned parallel to the supporting structure.

The motor in such models is asynchronous, usually with two speeds, from 400 to 3000 rpm.

For more information on how you can use the motor from the washing machine and assemble a lathe with it, see this video:

Do-it-yourself do-it-yourself removable machine from a washing machine

Such a machine will easily do all the dirty work for you. She will cope with the laborious and physically daunting task for plucking chickens.

Illustration	Action Description
	We take the shaft from the old washing machine, work on the thread. On the emery we make neat cuts under the pulley.
	In our case, a vertically loaded pulley is suitable.
	We cut the adapter from the old steering finger from the UAZ. The thread fit just right.
	For clamping, we use a cap from a centrifuge from an old Siberia semi-automatic washing machine.
	To mount our motor, we assemble the frame. We paint, weld the "ears".
	We “plant” the pump on the sealant.
	On the reverse side, install the pulley.
	We check the belt drive of our unit.
	We connect the board with the tachometer. We connect the windings in series from the collector to the armature. If you connect it wrong, it will turn your motor the other way. We fix the control unit under the countertop.
	We fix it on a bowl for loading carcasses, equipped with rubber pins.
	From above we lay the bottom of the removable machine and fix it with a cap on the screw.

Such a machine will cope with plucking boiler chickens, as well as quails. About 120 rubber "fingers" with a diameter of 8 mm were used for the manufacture.

lawn mower

It is another great way where you can use the engine from the washing machine and give it a second life. By analogy with any device, the most difficult thing here is to make a comfortable frame to which the motor could be stably screwed. The second most important task is to come up with a casing to protect the motor from dust and, and a person from cuts.

Sometimes a frame from a stroller or is taken as a basis. Next, a metal sheet is welded onto the frame. A casing is attached to the platform from above, a special bumper is fitted in front and behind. It can be either plastic or rubber, or metal.

feed cutter

But for the manufacture of a feed cutter, not only the motor from the washer, but also the drum will go into business. True, it is worth choosing initially. However, if you haven’t found one, a regular drum will do.

Important! If you are using a tank from a top-loading washing machine, make sure that the blades do not touch the bottom and sides of the tank during operation!

How to turn the engine from an old washing machine into a generator

For the manufacture of homemade generator you will need to seek help from a professional turner. After purchase, it will be necessary to machine grooves of a certain depth on the engine core.

To fix the magnetic "amplifiers", it is necessary to prepare tin templates in advance, the dimensions of which must match the dimensions of the core and the width of the grooves. It is important to distribute the magnets on the core at the same distance. You can fix them with glue.

A wood lathe is the dream of many craftsmen involved in the manufacture of crafts. For those who do not have free money, it is difficult to achieve, therefore it can remain unrealized for a long time. Although you can search the Internet for ideas for making a machine from improvised materials, and the desired will become a reality. As a result, it will be possible to implement previously conceived projects.

You can make a lathe using, for example, an engine from a washing machine that has already been killed by time. It is usually asynchronous, you can get 3000 and 400 rpm from it, which is enough for woodworking.

With the help of the machine it will be possible to grind, drill holes, cut and grind wooden blanks. Its main parts to be made: frame; back and front headstock; assistant.

The headstock is one of the most important machine components. It depends on it, as well as on the power of the motor specifications unit, the dimensions of the workpieces that will be available for processing.

A frame-body is made using a section of channel No. 14. Segments 30 and 26.5 cm long are cut out of it and welded with the ends, placing the pieces at an angle of 90 ° to one another. A hole is made along the axis of the smaller segment (from the side of the shelves), in which the connector of the bearing assembly should be placed.

The knot is also taken from the washing machine, adjusted to the desired size. Installed on a section of the channel, fixing with bolts. When installing, use a paronite gasket. The oil seal is removed from the assembly, replacing it with a thrust bearing.

A 7 cm pulley and a shaft are made or ordered, on which there should be places for placing bearings. Within a larger section of the channel, between the shelves, a base is made on which the engine is installed with its back to the channel.

Dealing with the tailstock. Two segments of the channel are placed with the walls up parallel to each other. I connect with four transverse metal strips.

In the lower part of the resulting structure, two transverse partitions are welded. Each sleeve is placed with a size of 2 (diameter) x 1.4 (length) cm - one for welding, the second - with nuts.

A shaft is made for the bushings with a center displaced by 2 mm with a diameter of 2 cm and trunnions of 1.4 cm. Due to the displacement of the center, it will lower / rise during rotation. The placement of the shaft in the bushings must provide the clearance necessary for clamping / releasing the headstock.

Take 3 ... 4-centimeter pipe sections with a diameter of 2.1 ... 2.3 cm, weld them coaxially to the M12 bolts (to the heads). Pipes are welded together. The end of the shaft, coming out of their tubes, is provided with a handle.

Collect the tailstock. It is tightened with nuts, ensuring fixation on the support when the handle is turned on the shaft.

Make a quill, which should have a revolving center. Use bearings - one thrust, three straight.

Pinole is made from segments profile pipe with a section of 3x3 cm, reducing their faces to a size of 2.9x2.9. On the one hand, it is fastened with a rod of 1.2 centimeter length, on the other - with an M12 nut. All straight bearings are pressed onto the rod.

The body of the quill is made using a pipe with a section of 2.9x2.9 cm. One end of it is covered with a metal plate, arranging a central hole in it; in the second, a slot is tripled and a wing nut is welded. Screwing into the last bolt, fix the quill.

I use a stud with an M12 thread on one end, M8 on the other. The flywheel is screwed onto the latter, fastened with the appropriate nut.

The body is supplied with two segments of the corner and attached to the tailstock. The latter is adjusted so that it remains in line with the axis of the headstock.

A handpiece is made with an eccentric clamp. Use a shock absorber. They make two bushings of 2.6 cm diameter, arranging boots on them. Two holes are drilled with diameters of 1.4, 1.0 cm with axes offset from the center by 2 mm. Threaded holes are arranged near the larger end through which the bushings are bolted to the axle.

Prepare a piece of pipe with an inner diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the rod. A rod with an M12 thread cut at the end is welded to the latter.

The body is made with dimensions of 8x4 cm from the channel. Inside, they are provided with two partitions with holes into which short (1.9 cm) bushings with an inner diameter of 26.5 mm are welded.

The handpiece is fastened by welding it to a piece of pipe, which is cut and supplied at the ends with nuts and bushings. The handpiece is clamped when the bolt is screwed into the latter.

The motor is connected according to the scheme in which it acts as a starting device. Power is connected to the switch input, in one circuit of which there must be a stator. An anchor is connected to the middle outlets. The upper terminals are connected crosswise with the input.

The engine, the headstock are closed with a protective casing. It has a speed controller on it.

Even in a professional workshop, even in an ordinary garage, it is often required for some household needs to accurately drill several holes in metal, wood and other materials. An ordinary household drill may not be suitable for this, especially when needed. increased accuracy. A drilling machine from a washing machine, or rather from a washing machine engine, which you can do yourself, can come to the rescue. It will cost you very little. It is about the manufacture of such a machine that will be discussed in the article.

Main details

Before assembling a drilling machine using an engine from a washing machine, it is necessary to clearly understand the safety rules, both during assembly and during the subsequent operation of such equipment.

Remember! Working with a homemade drilling machine can be dangerous to life and health! Be extremely careful and do not forget that in the absence of the necessary skills, you should not undertake the manufacture of such units. We do not encourage everyone to make and use drilling machines and provide this information for informational purposes only.

So, what parts are needed to make drilling machine? Conditionally everything necessary details the machine can be divided into 3 groups: the engine and the drive mechanism, the frame and the movement mechanism of the drill in the vertical plane, the electronic filling. The first group includes:

Details of the second group:

• steel corner 50 mm;
• steel beam 30x60x30 cm;
• square sheet of metal 40x40 cm;
• steel staples;
• old steering rack from VAZ G8;
• fasteners;
• drill shaft;
• bearings 6003 2RS;
• bearings 8103;
• drill chuck;
• homemade pinwheel of three studs welded together.

And finally, the details of the third group are represented by electronic filling, which will control the engine speed so that the drilling machine works stably without failures. The easiest way is to use a ready-made microcircuitTDA 1085, although there may be other options.

Machine mechanism

Making a drilling machine from a washing machine engine and other motors, do-it-yourselfers have long realized that it is easier to achieve what they want using as many standard standard parts as possible. Let this make the structure a little more expensive, but it will be more reliable and last longer, and most importantly, it will be easier to assemble it. A vivid example is the use of a VAZ steering rack in the manufacture of a moving mechanism. In essence, this is a movable mechanism, it remains only to come up with a worthy frame for it.

In the picture above you see First stage manufacture of the mechanism of the drilling machine. We reliably weld the steel beam to the metal sheet, thus creating a reliable and strong frame. To steel beam located vertically, we fasten the steering rack from the VAZ 2108 to the bolts with brackets as shown in the figure.

In this case, we immediately had problems attaching the turntable, and we had to cut a small notch in the base of the steel beam.

Let's move on to a more difficult stage, namely the manufacture of the basis of the movable mechanism and parts of the mechanism itself, without which the drilling machine will not be able to function. Separately, this part of the machine is shown in the figure above.

1. From the scraps of the corner, it is necessary to make a rectangular frame with an allowance on one side for fasteners. These large bolts are fitted with bearings, thanks to which this essential element structures as if on rails will move up and down the beam.
2. We weld another piece of corner to the frame on the side, in which you need to drill a hole for the bolts. They frame is screwed to the movable steering rack.
3. We weld a square profile from two pieces of a corner, into the body of which we will insert a drill shaft with bearings. Accordingly, on the one hand, a cartridge will be dressed on the shaft, and on the other, a pulley.

Now we just have to screw the part placed in the picture above to the steering rack. It turned out a solid base, which already outwardly resembles a drilling machine.

Motor and its connection

Connection, verification, and we have repeatedly considered in the framework of other publications, so we will not dwell on this. We only note that before installing the engine on a drilling machine, it would be nice to check it for performance.

So, from the corners we weld the frame, on which we put the engine and fasten this structure on the side to the movable mechanism of the drilling machine. We first put a pulley on the motor shaft.

Now it remains for us to pull the drive belt between the pulleys, connect the engine to the TDA 1085 microcircuit board, power the machine from a household electrical network and you can try out a new drilling machine that you worked hard to make. Load drills of different diameters into the chuck and see how the drilling machine copes with making holes in thick sheets of metal - a mesmerizing sight.

Important! When connecting the microcircuit to the engine, do not forget to protect it with a plastic case, you never know what can fly into it in the workshop during operation.

In conclusion, we note that it is quite possible to make a drilling machine using a motor from a used washing machine if you have right hands, a great desire and a workshop with appropriate equipment. Such a machine "will cost three kopecks, and will work for three rubles." Good luck!

Homemade products from the engine from the washing machine (video selection, photos, diagrams)

1. How to connect the motor from an old washing machine with or without a capacitor

Not all "washer" motors will work with a capacitor.

There are 2 main types of engines:
- with capacitor start (constantly switched on capacitor)
- with starting relay.
As a rule, "capacitor" motors have three winding outputs, power 100 -120 W and revolutions 2700 - 2850 (motors of centrifuges of washing machines).

And engines with a "start relay" have 4 outputs, a power of 180 W and a speed of 1370 - 1450 (washing machine activator drive)

Connecting a "capacitor" motor through the start button may result in loss of power.
And the use of a constantly on capacitor in a motor designed for a starting relay can lead to burnout of the windings!

2. Homemade emery from the engine of a washing machine

Today we are going to talk about transformation. asynchronous motor from the washing machine to the generator. In general, I have been interested in this issue for a long time, but there was no particular desire to remake the electric motor, since at that time I did not see the scope of the generator. Since the beginning of the year, work has been going on on a new model of the ski lift. Having your own lift is a good thing, but riding with music is much more fun, so I quickly got the idea to make such a generator so that I can use it on the slope in winter to charge the battery.

I had three electric motors from the washing machine in store, and two of them are absolutely serviceable. Here I decided to convert one of these asynchronous electric motors into a generator.

Looking ahead a little, I will say that the idea is not mine and not new. I will only describe the process of converting an induction motor into a generator.

The electric motor of a washing machine with a capacity of 180 watts, manufactured in China in the early 90s of the last century, was taken as a basis.

I ordered magnets from NPK Magnets and Systems LLC, before I had already bought magnets during the construction of a wind farm. Neodymium magnets, magnet size 20x10x5. The cost of 32 pieces of magnets with delivery is 1240 rubles.

Alteration of the rotor consisted in removing the core layer (deepening). Neodymium magnets will be installed in the resulting recess. At the beginning, 2 mm of the core was removed on a lathe - a protrusion above the side cheeks. Then a 5 mm recess was made for neodymium magnets. The result of the alteration of the rotor can be seen in the photo.

By measuring the circumference of the resulting rotor, were produced necessary calculations, after which a strip template was made from tin. Using a template, the rotor was divided into equal parts. Neodymium magnets will then be glued between the risks.

8 magnets were used per pole. In total, 4 poles turned out on the rotor. With the help of a compass and a marker, all the magnets were marked for convenience. Magnets were glued to the rotor with “Superglue”. Let me tell you, it's hard work. The magnets are very strong, I had to hold them tightly when gluing. There were moments when the magnets came off, pinched fingers, and glue flew into the eyes. Therefore, you need to glue magnets with the use of goggles.

I decided to fill the cavity between the magnets with epoxy resin. To do this, the rotor with magnets was wrapped in several layers of paper. The paper is secured with tape. End faces for additional sealing are smeared with plasticine. A hole has been cut into the shell. A neck is made of plasticine around the hole. Epoxy resin was poured into the hole in the shell.

After curing epoxy resin, the shell has been removed. The rotor is clamped into the drill chuck for further processing. Grinding was carried out with medium grit sandpaper.

There are 4 wires coming out of the motor. I found a working winding, and cut off the wires from the starting winding. I installed new bearings, because the old ones rotated a little tight. The bolts tightening the body are also new.

The rectifier is assembled on D242 diodes, the SOLAR controller, bought a few years ago on Ebay, is used as a charging controller.

Tests of the generator can be viewed on the video.

To charge the battery, 3-5 turns of the generator are enough. At the maximum speed of the drill, it was possible to squeeze out 273 Volts from the generator. Alas, sticking is decent, so it makes no sense to put such a generator on a windmill. Unless the windmill will be with a large propeller or gearbox.

The generator will stand on the ski lift. Field trials this winter.
