JArmature Inspection and Test
1.Inspect the armature for wear or damage due to con-
tact with the permanent magnet or field winding.
. lf there is wear or damage. replace the armature.
Inspect for damage.
2. Check commutator surface and diameter.
. lf the surface is dirty or burnt. resurface with emery
cloth or a lathe within the following specifications,
or recondition with #500 or #600 sandpaper.
. lf commutator diameter is below the service limit,
replace the armature.
Commutator Diameter
Standard {NEW)Service Limit
28.0 - 28.1 mm
(1.102 - 1.106 in)
27.5 mm
(1.083 in)

3. Measure the commutator runout.
. lf the commutator runout is within the service
limit, check the commutator for carbon dust or
brass chips betlveen the segments.
. lf the commutator runout is not within the ser-
vice limit, replace the armature.

4. Check tor mica depth. lf necessary, undercut mica
with a hacksaw blade to achieve proper depth. l{ ser-
vice limit cannot be maintained, replace the armature.

5. Check for continuity between the segments of the
commutator. lf an open circuit exists between any
segments, replace the armature.

6. Place the armature on an armature tester. Hold a
hacksaw blade on the armature core.
ARMATURE TESTER
. lf the blade is attracted to the core or vibrates
while the core is turned, the armature is shorted.
Replace the armature.
7. Check with an ohmmeter that no continuity exists
between the commutator and armature coil core,
and between the commutator and armature shaft. lf
there is continuity, replace the armature.
