Broken motor screw on thr M5 motor
Hello everyone, Just got this new M5 motor while is was unscrewing the screw to the frame the motor screw just snapped . I wanted to drill the remaing part of the screw chances are i'll damage the inner threads. This motor is brand new and only had 2 packs on it, is there any other way to save this motor? Thanks

Is there any screw length extending through the back side of the flange that you might be able to get a grip on with a pair of hemostats? If you can get a hold on it, try heating the flange with a soldering iron and turning the screw.
I'd try separating the mounting flange from the rest of the motor and try drilling it out using a drill press. Start with the smallest bit you have and work up slowly. Even if you don't hit the screw dead center, you should be able to get it close enough to back the screw out (or through) the flange w/o ruining the threads. Again, heating the flange with a soldering iron may make it easier to turn out. Use a Dremel tool and a single thin cutoff disk/wheel to grind a slot across the face of the broken screw and use a small flat bade screwdriver to remove the stud. Heating the flange will probably help too, You WILL also damage the flange when grinding the slot. But, it beats tossing the whole motor. |
