Marklin 209454 - Replacement 5-Pole Armature

Product Description

Replacement armature (also listed as E209454), for (according to Marklin information) Marklin 8800, 88051, 8803, 8804, 8864, 88641, 88642, 88643, 8865, 8801, 8894, 8895, 8897.

You will also need new brushes, the old 3 pole brushes will not work!

This requires complete disassembly of the motor, in order to replace your old 3-pole armature with the new 5-pole armature. This means you will also have to remove the old worm-gear. You have to pull it off the old armature, and put it on the new armature. We also sell replacement gears, in case you damage yours while pulling it off the axle.

The replacement gears are Marklin E260505

The armature depicted is the old style, we now stock and sell the new style, the only difference is that the windings are slightly skewed for even better performance.

Charlie's Tip: If your newly upgraded motor does not run, disconnect the power, and rotate the axle by hand for a while. The rotations will help remove possible residue or oxidation, and help the brushes to seat more properly and allow better conductivity.

Reconnect the power and continue to rotate until you feel the motor start. A 9 volt battery can be handy during the testing.

Allow the motor to run for a while to help the seating process of the brushes.
