Swissmade rotarys

i believe the Swissmade rotarys use maxon motors? if so,is there any1 on here that knows which(motor) model number is used?cheers in advanced;)

Maxon makes a lot of different motors and if you are hoping to put a maxon in your stealth you may have a problem. The Stealth last I remember takes a flat can motor? The majority of the Maxon motors are not flat on the sides so it would not just be plug and play.

I had this machine and only sold it because i needed the money. you could replace the motor with a maxon and but stealth bearing on it.the frame was well made and sturdy.they go for 30 to 35 out the door.

I have seen a few of these, some with varying degrees of quality control in the assembly. Have also seen some of these modded a la shagbuilt cannister style with a tattoo spring anf the front half chopped off.

Also look for Faulhaber motors if you want Swiss/German made stuff if you cant find a Maxon to fit.

thanks for the tips!i kinda figured they wouldnt fit.i keep toying with the idea of buying some cheap stealth copy and trying my hand at modding it.

I think the stealth motor works pretty alright.
I bought a $17 stealth knockoff that sucked, but the stealth motor seems legit to me.
The motor in the swiss machine is custom made by Maxon for them. You can get a replacement motor from the swiss rotary company for $150..which is about the going rate for Maxon's stock motors anyways.

you can also buy motors from stigma

Sigma "Fly" motors are flat can and may fit. You would need to get the dimensions with the case they fit in as well. Eikon has them for 150$ but they are currently out of stock on everything Stigma.

Anyone got a website for the Maxon or any other moter companies. Maybe Stealth motors?
