Looking for a bit of advice regarding a problem I am having repairing a DC01.
Last week there was a lot of banging and clattering from the motor housing and a loss of suction. I suspected a new motor of which I know are hard to source. Having taken it to pieces i found the motor to be fine but the problem was at the end of the armature where there is a fan like plate structure which I assume creates the suction. The whole structure had disintegrated hence the banging noise. I have no idea what it is called or even if it is available as a spare.
The irony is that the motor is fine and works well and assuming I can repair this, it will benefit from a new pair of brushes. Those I know are easy to get hold of.
All help gratefully received.
Many thanks
Forgot to mention - the motor is an Armtek

You could use a burned out motor I suppose and make a good one from the two. No parts are available for those motors.
However, they are available good and used. I would just swap it for what its worth.

Thanks for that. I kinda suspected that might be the case. I will keep searching. Cheers

Used motors are occasionally offered on eBay for the DC01, it depends which model of motor. There is an Ametek on there at present.

Thanks - just seen it

We have Ametek DC01 motors too in case of need.

Just found this post, I came across a DC01 last week with Ametek motor that had done the same thing, I've put it to one side to explore at a later date.
