[QUOTE="ciaonzo, post: 6444812, member: 607015"] Now let me throw a couple of other motors at you. Not really, because that would hurt. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] This one is also called a 3HP+ but it is clearly different from the one I just showed you. It has the same four .75" slugs and T-yoke, although, it's not cut down so the height is the same as the traditional 3HP. It has a 35mm top plate and the relationship of the T-yoke and top plate are different from both the LMS 4000 3HP+ and the traditional 3HP. Also, notice that instead of a shorting ring under the top plate, there is a copper sleeve on the pole. The gap is much wider than all the other motors, 8mm for the air gap. Factor in the thickness of the copper sleeve which is at least 2mm and you now have a 10mm wide gap that is 35mm tall.
