Winding machine refinements. HDPE bushing and mini washers
for shimming. Two type of spools are shown. The large case of
200 spools was only $20 some dollars TO THE DOOR. That is what
I call a deal.
The small spools worked and I got 40 of them for really really fine wire.
Deburirng and polishing of spools for 24 spools was done today, this
stuff takes time. An additional 24 disks were cut and some got thru
the finishing process and some not.
I made a pipe inside a pipe washer cutting device for the HDPE rings
shown in the picture. The two pipes can be used together or separately
where you strike the end putting the soft material against paneling.
Finding hdpe washers is hard and the price plus wait time caused me to
make my own in an hour.
I still have a batch of shaft collars to order plus washers as the end is
in sight to be set up to wind coils. Never done it and getting time to
put your mind to the job can be pressing for a beginner.
The heavy duty spools are twice the weight of the tiny ones at
3.120' X -3/4". Three forms of washering create excellent stability
as well as having a free turning yet a tension adjustable format.
These larger spools will allow me to hold up to 150feet of 22awg wire,
my educated guess. This way i won't have to go thru this all over again
every time I change AWG (Wire size) and since Turion said he was
doing some winding this week using a 23awg wire I felt like I should be
about right with this tooling.
Each empty spool weights 14 grams and full 75 grams, so 60 grams
of copper wire or 2-1/8 OZ multiplied by 24 strands =
60g X 24 = 1440 grams per finished coil on a "C" core of laminated iron.
28 grams per oz so 1440 divided by 28 = +51 OZ or divide 16 =
51oz / 16 = 3.2 pounds of copper on core material. One reason coils
must be long is to produce a delay at low RPM's requires it. Back yard
inventors do not have all of the latest CNC equipment capable of
running 10,000 rpm's not to mention the engineering to keep a magnet
in the rotor at those speeds.
I will be happy to get results during this first try at 1000-1500 RPM's
this way no special bearings or super balancing, out of my realm of
not only finances but ability to tool up is needed.
