Hello All on Forum.

First of all i must say a big thank you to Ms Tendai Mugweni  who gave me an 
excellent
help and service, as an Ex  CAA Examiner I rarely would give 10/10 but
the score is 11.
So if you need a motor this is the place to go.

 Arblast Propellers as you know have ceased trading so spares are difficult to
obtain, I have been looking for the small electric motor which changes the 
propellers
pitch.
After many e-mail and phone calls i have finally tracked down the components, I
have done all the hard work so here it is my PV50 flyers.

CS Unit Drive.
Its a small electric motor which drives a planetary gear head which  then 
mechanically
turns a jack screw forward or backwards either increases or decreases
the blade pitch angle.
The amount of and aft movement of the jack screw is controlled by two micro 
switches,
connected to the  DC motor and reversing the polarity changes the motors
direction of rotation . 

This is the motor and fitting kit, the Gear Head is at extra cost and not listed
here, but its 246 to 1 drive ratio gear head if you need one.

Note  the first two numbers refer to the motors diameter ie 23 or 22 the last 
two
numbers are the voltage 12 or 06.
Seems to me that all the PV50s CS unit had 6 volt motors on the aircrafts 12v 
system
as mine is and i expect yours is, when measured gives 11.9v at the terminal
on the motor. 
On the motors end a small plastic plate cover states FAULHABER  Made in Germany
, 2224U006SR, R59,  3909.
The R59 denotes the motor has coils at the segment end.

The 2224U0006SR isnt a like for like replacement for the 2224U006SR-59, due to
the special option 59, which means that the motor has coils for end/commutator
seg secured with special adhesive


So your identical replacement would  be a 2224U006SR, R59,  3909, But i have 
used
the 2224U006SR. at 67.5 which works well, But an upgrade to match the aircrafts
system of 12v would be the 2342S12CR at 167.5
but in doing this you would need the G23m16 fitting kit to attach it to the Gear
Head, ( i have not done this yet but think the fitting kit is the blue alloy
collar in which the two ie Motor and Gear Head are joined in with adhesive.)

The Gear Head is 246 to 1 as used  by Arblast but it is possible to have a 406
to 1 which is slower but puts the motor under less load, but  better go for the
more expensive 12v motor.
Back at the rear of this lot is a housing with the two Micro Switches which have
a diode  across two of the terminal, The mirco switches levers run along a shaft
and are set at the propeller Fine and Course stops.

Removal of Motor.
To remove the Motor, unsolder or cut the two wires as close as possible to the
motors terminals, Remove the tape from the shaft.
The Blue Alloy Collar with light pressure applied to a pair of grips turn the 
Collar
to brake seal, then unscrew by hand, Gently withdraw the motor and pinion
---From the gear box.
Be careful not to disturb the planetary gears as you withdraw motor and pinion,
and the fine metal gear retaining washer in front of the gear box.
With the motor now out, On a table look for and remove the fine hair wire  U  
clip.
Which is Bond in at one end, ( God knows what this is for, seems to doing
nothing as i see it) ????
Be careful not to loose it. ( But if you can see a use for it, i would like to
know.)
Remove the Blue Collar from the motor, by unscrewing the 3 small screws inside
the collar.
Now pull the collar off from the motor, the two surfaces may  have been bonded
with Loctite 638,  mine was not. (But it is Recommend as listed in text.)
Now you have the little motor in your hand.
Replace in reverse order.
When bonding the motor to the gearhead we suggest you use adhesive Loctite 638
this offers high strength, high temperature resistance and is ideal for bonding
small gaps.
Before re soldering the wire two the motor, hold the wires on terminals to check
the prop works in correct direction/ toggle switch up for fine, toggle down
for course.
change wires round the other way if it dose not work, check, then finally solder
wires onto terminals.
No Workshop Manual is Available , So that,s it.
