    Cameflex Synch Motors

    in Eclair

    Posted

    So, for those of you who are interested I have some news. I've just had some worm gear parts back from the precision engineers. I'm in the process of remanufacturing all the drive parts and this is the first step.

    Have a look at this. It's the camera running at 25fps with a full 400' load of 35mm with the brand new gears I got this afternoon:

    Will be getting the new motor case prints in a few weeks and ready to sell some 24fps non-synch motors which have been completely built from scratch if anyone is interested in buying one.

    The price for the first batch will be £500 each plus shipping. 

    Cheers

    Cameflex Eclair motor runs but shutter is not moving.

    Here's an even better version. I opened one of mine up and took some more photos for you. Should be fairly straightforward to check if yours is set up right. 

    One thing I noticed was that I have a feeling that the variable shutter is bent out of shape. If it gets caught underneath the ground glass then it won't be able to move. However, if it can't move then neither can the rest of it and your motor runs.

    Have a look and see what you think.

    Dear Robbie,

                             Visual Products can probably fix it.

     I would take it to bits and have a look to see what's going on.

    I made a Cameflex stripdown guide a while back that shows you how to take it to bits. It's a PDF but you can download it from here:

    There is one photo missing. It shows the correct position that the shutter knob has to be in before you can take the back plate off easily.

    I'll try to make an amended version and upload it to Wetransfer and then you'll be able to see what's going on.

    From your video it looks like the variable shutter is slightly bent and can't get past the prism. However, having said that, the motor would not turn at all.

    Cheers

    Not sure how this one works. I've seen others that have a slightly different design on eBay. I have a friend who has built something like this. I'll ask him and see what he can figure out. He built a stop motion rig for his Mitchells using stepper motors. He may be able to help. If no one comes up with a solution I'll reply in a couple of weeks.

    Cheers

    The motor is not running. I’m replacing toggle switch this weekend. If still not functioning, I hope to find source that may repair to proper working order.  

    AZ Spectrum in New York should be able to fix it. I had one that wasn't working as a result of a small piece of dirt in one of the contacts. I can show you how to check but it may not be the same model? Upload a photo and if it's the same one I'll send detail of the fix.

    I was thinking about giving out a couple for testing. One is definitely going to you. I think I'll give one to Larry in New York as well.

    I'll be in touch once I've reconfigure the case  and done the engineering. I spent months waiting for a precision engineer to get back to me. I've found someone new who is interested in the project.

    Price wise, they be going out for about £500 plus shipping.

    I'm working with an engineer in Turkey to make a crystal synch version. He's already worked out stable PID using a TI Tiva board. I'll ask him to design a stand alone solution using the latest technology available as all the solutions currently available use chips that aren't made any more.

    However, we might not need to do that if the testing goes well tomorrow.  

    I'll keep you posted.

    Cheers

    Almost done. Have cracked the speed control and am working with a precision engineer to make up the motor drive connector.

    This is the latest size and design for you to have a look at. I'll be getting a few non-synch (as close to synch as possible) 24fps and 25fps motors out soon for anyone that is interested.

    Cheers
