Can Dimensions


In the drawing above, the dimensions of the can are represented by the terms "L" (Length of the steel supporting the magnet area) "H" (Height of the steel supporting the magnet area) and "T" (The length of the endbell mounting tab). It is essential that each of these dimensions correspond to the type of magnet/set-up you are trying to build.

Options For Length of the Magnet Area ("L"):
() .260" (Typically used for 1:32 EuroSport)
() .300" (Typically used for 1:32 or 1:24 EuroSport)
() .330" (Typically used for 1:24 EuroSport)
() .355" (Typically used for Cobalt 12)
() .370" (Typically used for Unlimited {Grp-7} or Cobalt 12)
() .385" (Typically used for Unlimited {Grp-7} or Cobalt 12)
() .400" (Typically used for Unlimited {Grp-7})
() .440" (Typically used for Group 27 Motors)

Options for Height of the Magnet Area ("H"):
() .316"
() .400"
() .420"
() .450"
() .470"

TAB ("T")
There are three standard tab lengths, however two are most relevant and are particularly so on EuroSport and Open Class (Unlimited Grp-7) type motors. The "Normal" tab length is approximately .110", however, cans may also be ordered in a "Long" tab length that is suitable to accept the long commutator spacing typically found on "PK" Armatures. A third length is standard on our new Grp-27 can but it is unecessary to specify this dimension - it is only necessary to specify the new type Grp-27 Can and indicate what thickness (.025 is default).
