Hi, just wondering has anyone done a test on these new motors ? comparing the previous 5 pole motors ? for torque, load exceptance and power output

I assume this question is about Märklin and H0 gauge.
There are dozens of new motors. And dozens of old motors.
Torque won't be a problem.
Smoothness depends on the combination of decoder and motor. |

I remember images of five-pole and three-pole can motors they used after the insolvency - motors that looked cheap. I cannot xray all those motors - from the outside they are all just can motors. Different sizes, different internals, different flywheel arrangements. Any motor with a permanent magnet is "high-efficiency propulsion" in Märklin speak. I was disappointed when they switched from five-pole motors to three-pole motors - and to fool people they changed the symbol in the catalogue from 5 stars to show 9 stars.. Some five-pole can motors perform well. Some three-pole can motors used by Märklin perform bad with the Märklin decoders.. Some motors are still coreless motors - but for some models the coreless motors have been downgraded to can motors. |
