So, lining with my whip at around 10v, the bastard starts to heat up almost immediately and within 10 minutes is literally hot to the touch. Got it in a trade, supposedly with only 20 hours on it.
Anyone had similar experience?

does your other machines heat up at all? what kind of power supply are you using. I honestly havent heard of that, usually indicates a bad connection or motor going bad....
Nope, as a matter of fact I have a swash slide, that I run around 10.5 for packing and it stays cool.
Maybe the 20 hours were on a shitty supply and it burned up the brushes in the motor? The swash whip needs to be run on a lab supply Unimax recommends
listen to the motor in a quiet room-if its bad it will sound rough with the crank off-also on the whips the motor might have got pushed forword or back a bit in the housing which can cause binding of the motor shaft.and like stated before if there is bad wiring or loose connection it will cause a motor to overheat.
Motor is quiet. No noise. The motor is the same as in the slide and in side by side comparison they sound the same. Using a hurricane digital power supply.
Fuck me, traded my last Kubin Cranker to try this out and I get a fried motor!
That knock off power supply is probably your problem.Quote:

When I got back to my shop, hooked it up to my ems 400, it ran a bit better, but the motor crapped 2 days later. I really believe the hurricane killed it. I don't know how, dirty signal.... signal noise..... amperage jumps and dips? I'm not sure. But I agree with everyone else, try a different, better quality power supply.
Wouldn't be the same problem with the slide then? I've run crankers, nicks, Nedz, fowler coils, neo, bishops, and the slide on it with no issues.
How's it turning the cycle by hand? Hard or smooth?
