MTM-100
Mini Turbine Motor. 1.000\"High Speed Turbine Motor.By:
Wolfgang Engineering.
Overview:
Here is the smallest addition to the \"Brass Series\" of turbines that I have been working on for the past several months. Housing:
The MTM-100 housing is machined from a solid 1.000\" piece of 360 Brass and requires multiple machining operation to complete. The backside is threaded to a 0.875\" by 32 pitch for the rear cover. The nose of the housing is threaded to 1/2\"-32 pitch to allow the front mounting bracket to be threaded on. There are four mounting holes on the bracket spaced 1.200\" apart drilled and tapped to 4-40. This bracket can then be fixed in placed using the knurled locking nut provided. Bearing:
This turbine uses two high speed 5/16\" O.D. by 1/8\" I.D. Stainless Steel bearings rated for over 100,000 rpm\'s. This provides high precision and corrosion resistance for a long service life. Exhaust:
The exhaust tube is at standard 1/2\" copper pipe for ease of adding standard copper fittings to perhaps a condenser to bring the steam back to water, for example. It is tightly pressed into the Aluminum back cover which threads on to the back of turbine housing. Nozzle:
The nozzle is specially designed to either use 1/4\" neoprene tubing for low pressures and temperature or for higher pressures and temps, 1/8\" copper tube can be soldered to the inside. The nozzle is (56) silver brazed into the turbine housing to handle the higher temperatures and pressures that some of my customers require.Turbine Blade:
The 0.875\" turbine blade is machined from a solid piece of 360 Brass and requires over 8 separate machining procedures to complete. These steps are focused to ensure its alignment and concentricity to the output shaft. Dimensions:
The outside housing is 1.000\" is diameter and the entire unit measures approximately 2.500\" long. The max turbine speed is about 115,000 rpm\'s in short burst without a load, 71,000 rpm continuously. The unit is estimated at putting out about 15 Watts using around 55 psi of pressure. This model can be ran off of steam or compressed air. Intended Uses:
* Personal Projects
* Experimental Designs
* Educational
* Hobbyist
* Steam Enthusiast
* Collectors
