XJS Hydraulic Car Lift Problem
#21
OB, if you swap the blue capacitor lead to the RED AC and Z2 to U1 the motor should reverse.
I am making an assumption that Z1 and Z2 are one winding and U1 and U2 are the second winding. You can confirm this by measuring each winding with an Ohm meter they should read around 1hom.

Thanks
Just to Clarify, is this what you mean (see pic)
Also when I test Z1 & Z2 do I put one lead from the meter on Z1 and the other lead from the meter on Z2
and the the same with U1 & U2

No I haven't done yet but I'd rather try and reverse it if that's possible but I have been so busy today, that I haven't had time to try and re-wire it.

Hitch, I know sod all about hydraulic pumps, and from the photo of the pump casting OB posted, it did look like the inlet and outlet parts of the casting were to same. BUT unless we can be sure the pump is bi-directional, OB, I would not want to be underneath anything it is holding up!

Whenever I've lifted the Car up, I've always had Safety Props underneath just in Case but the fittings on the Side of the Pump don't look interchangeable from what I can see and in the event that were the case, I've heard you can mess all up the seals.
So I'll wire it up and see if it works and if it doesn't run Anti Clockwise, then I can always use it on a bigger Compressor and buy a complete hydraulic unit to go on the lifter.

'Warrjon' Worked A Miracle! Electric Motor is now running Anti Clockwise
Hi Warrjon (aka 'The Wizard of Watts')
I wired the Electric Motor just the way you said and its now running 'Anti Clockwise' just the way I wanted and I couldn't be more pleased.
So Thank You Again
For Your Help.
It looked like a piece of Scrap
but not anymore!

Hi Warrjon
One more little problem to be overcome!
The other Motor Had a Thinner Shaft and this ones 20mm.
So the Fitting off the Old Motor will be too Small to go on the Shaft, so I could either drill a bigger hole through the Fitting or find someone with a Lathe to bore it out.
I think the fitting also has a Key Way, just to make things a bit more Complicated.
When I get the fitting off the Old Motor, I'll put up some pics and hopefully find a Solution.
Thanks Again!
Hope you enjoyed the Movie!
For reasons that cannot be explained, the Motor runs even smoother Anti Clockwise.

The Fix came via email on a diagram to die for and now that little Motor is Spinning like a dream!

Electrics and then electronics. In my limited lexicon, related. But the former less complex than the latter. I mess with the former fairly well, the latter, not nearly so much.
A couple of years ago, my son gave me a little old Atlas Lathe. Partly in pieces and one critical one missing. A successor company could furnish anything but the missing one. The pattern was lost.
I found one on Ebay. Hooray.
I had a nice little 1/3 HP 120v AC motor. Ugh, Wrong rotation.
As it would drive the jack shaft via a V belt, I could have swapped it 180 degrees. But, not a clean look and take up needed space on my bench.
Two other solutions came up.
A. Reverse the rotation. A visit to a friendly electric motor shop taught me how. And, they had the Vbelt in the size I needed.
The little Atlas purrs. Only the three dog chuck challenges me.
But, it has made swarf....
B. EBay again. Reversing switch. I bought one and got four. I decided to use one as an on/off as they were high quality. Sold one on CL.
Have two left.
That sure is a hefty saw. I would be tempted to fix it. I'd name that thing "tiger". Wicked blade...

More:
The left over bench. Decades ago, I got one at a yard sale. Similar
in size, etc. I made it in to a dual use piece. At another sale I got the power head of a radial saw. In great condition, but the ways were
stuck!!
I added some strap steel by welding to strengthen it and then bolted
on two striking surfaces. One a chunk of big I beam. The power head clamps to it. I installed a big wire wheel. Brush big old rusty stuff. I did a lot on it on a past project. Clamp on little vice to hold small pieces for welding. A flat for pounding metal. Done a bit of that.
It also has four holes bored in the corners. Bolt work down when needed.
The other part, a chunk of RR track cut to resemble a black smith's
anvil. Big hammer use here.
The thing is on casters, now. the lower part houses the power head when not in use a nd a bunch of clamps and the little vice.
I term it my "bash bench".
