Hi everyone,
I have been given a couple of electric motors, an hydraulic pump and a contactor. This stuff is used on hydraulic tail lifts on trucks. I'm planning on using them on a kart for my ealdest kid and the bigger one on a motorcycle or moped(what ever possible). I do have some questions though as I am new to the the world of EV's.
1) Can somebody tell me what kind of motors these are (series/ PM or whatever...?) by looking at de specs?
2) Is it possible to up the voltage (ex. de 3 kw 24V to 48V)? If so what steps to take?
3) Both motors turn clockwise, if I cut the Hydraulic pump an inch or so, I can get both shafts to stick out en add a sprocket(cut one down to housing size of course), can I use the pump without the oil or do you think the shafts will eventually wear down?
Thanks for any remark,
David
