Replacement 5-Pole Armature

Replacement 5-Pole armature, for 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. We also sell replacement gears, in case you damage yours while pulling it off the axle.

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.
