Motor (replaced with ImPulse 8 and ImPulse 9)

The motor is basically a twin to the ADC 8" motor, but at a better price. As a convenience, we have even duplicated the mounting bolt pattern to allow our clients to utilize existing mounting plate adapters.

The motor's basic parameters: It is an 8" diameter series wound DC motor with a double ended shaft. The motor utilizes large style coms and brushes. The coms are key-locked onto the drive shaft -- reducing the likelihood of lifting any com bars. Class "H" insulation is used throughout the motor. The drive shaft and tail shaft have standard keyways cut into them. The drive shaft comes with a pilot bearing hole and a 5/16 - 18 mounting hole.

"White Zombie" (driven by John Wayland) used two motors. This car is the world's quickest and fastest "Street Legal Electric Vehicle".

Motor

This is a 9.25" diameter, series wound DC motor with a double ended shaft and is pre-drilled to allow for brush advance in either CWDE or CCWDE. Our motor shares many of the internal components of our motor, but has the mounting pattern and pilot to match 8" motors (Model 00-08259, Model 00-08249 does NOT match ADC 8"!).

The com bars are more securely attached to the arbor, so they will be less likely to lift. The drive shaft is bored for a pilot bearing and drilled & tapped for a 5/16 - 18 bolt. The tail shaft also has a 1/4 - 20 bolt hole to mount tach sensors or secure couplers and accessories. Again, we have duplicated the ADC 8" mounting bolt pattern allowing clients to use preexisting mounting adapters (Model 00-08259, Model 00-08249 does NOT match ADC 8"!). Class "H" insulation is used throughout the motor. The drive shaft and tail shaft have standard keyways cut into them. This motor is also available at a better price point to end users.

Motor

It is a 9.25" diameter, series wound DC motor with a double ended shaft. Our motor is similar to the ADC 9" motor, but with several improvements. Of the most notable changes, we have a larger com and utilize the large style brushes.

The com bars are more securely attached to the arbor, so they will be less likely to lift. The drive shaft is bored for a pilot bearing and drilled & tapped for a 5/16 - 18 bolt. The tail shaft also has a 1/4 - 20 bolt hole to mount tach sensors or secure couplers and accessories. Again, we have duplicated the ADC 9" mounting bolt pattern allowing clients to use preexisting mounting adapters. Class "H" insulation is used throughout the motor. The drive shaft and tail shaft have standard keyways cut into them. This motor is also available at a better price point to end users.

Motor

It is a 11.45" diameter, series wound DC motor with a double ended shaft. Our motor  comes set with advanced timing CCWDE. Of the most notable changes, we have a very large com and utilize the large style, very high quality brushes.

The com bars are more securely attached to the arbor, so they will be less likely to lift. The drive shaft is bored for a pilot bearing and drilled & tapped for a 5/16 - 18 bolt.

Motor

This is a 13.25" diameter, series wound DC motor with a double ended shaft. Our motor may be customized to a large extent by the customer.  This motor can have its fields  switched from serial to parallel!  The engineers at Warfield Electric said: "This motor is Torque City" when it was dyno tested!

The com bars are more securely attached to the arbor, so they will be less likely to lift. The drive shaft is bored for a pilot bearing and drilled & tapped for a 1/2 - 13 bolt. The tail shaft also has a 1/4 - 20 bolt hole to mount tach sensors or secure couplers and accessories. This motor is a "foot-mount" and should not be considered for face mounting due to its weight. Class "H" insulation is used throughout the motor. The drive shaft and tail shaft may be specially designed or use standard keyways or splines.

Motor

This motor has an 11.45" diameter. It is a series wound DC motor with a double ended shaft. Our motor has been designed to ease the conversion process for people who want direct drive applications. It has many unique features that set it apart from any other EV motor currently manufactured.

This motor has a "shorty" tailshaft housing from a Chevrolet Turbo 400 transmission fitted to the drive end-bell (may be ordered with or without housing!) This is becuase the drive end shaft is not the typical 1.125" single-keyed type, but rather a hefty 1.370", 32-tooth involute spline that is identical to the tailshaft spline of a Turbo 400 transmission. In other words, this motor was designed to replace a transmission and couple directly to a driveshaft!

But we didn't stop there! We added double wide bearings on the drive end, added grease fittings (as you now have a slip-yoke assembly...). We chose the industry standard 1350 universal, so you can easily adapt it to any manufacturers driveshaft! We moved the terminals to the side of the motor to avoid road hazard damage, and to allow more clearance above and below. The motor also has brush wear indicators and a temperature snap switch. It has the same high efficiency fan and massive commutator and brushes as the WarP 11 motor. We even made the commutator end shaft the same diameter as the drive end of a typical WarP 11 - just in case you wanted to conenct 2, 11" motors together!

If that wasn't enough, we also provide a lifting ring and 8 threaded mounting holes in the commutator end bell. This way you will find it easier to mount, as well as having a method of easily attaching a speed sensor, alternator, air conditioner, etc.

*Spreadsheet data is from actual dyno runs for the motors, the graphs may not be 100%  representive of the data due to plotting limitations of the software used to produce the graphs.  The Warfield dyno is limited to 72 Volts and ~600 Amps - figures beyond these points may be extrapolated. Most motor losses are fixed, so performance extrapoltaed at higher currents will likely be slightly better than most extrapolations.
