Ive looked at several different manuals some call for a 24V motor control and 24V DC motors. others call for a 24V motor control and 36V Dc motors. I have 2 12V btteries. Would the 24v motor controller along with the 36v dc motor cause the motor to glaze over. If not what would?
If two 24v batteries are the standard fitment it isn't likely it would be fitted with a 36v motor - unless some bright person fitted the wrong one...
I am not sure what you mean by "glazed over" unless it is the commutator you refer to? A commutator made from quality materials and fitted with brushes made from the correct grade of carbon or copper/carbon and being run at approx. the correct voltage is likely to become well polished and may become carbon black in colour but that is without detriment.
It is permissible to clean the commutator. I find spinning the armature in a drill and using a fine emery cloth is adequate.
Once reassembled the motor can be connected directly to 24 volts for testing.
Testimonial: "Thank you I will hook motor up to 24 volts and see if it runs. I assume i would use the wires marked = and -.which is forward and reverse."
A direct current motor, whether permanent magnet, series wound or parallel wound types, will run in either direction by reversing the polarity. In real life applications that use electronic circuitry for directional and speed control the motor is likely to be fitted with a tachometer device to provide performance feedback into the circuitry.
This means there could be more than two wires emerging from the motor. In this case care will be needed in making the correct connections. The motor could also be fitted with an electric safety brake.
