This machine operates without a transmission,motor coupler,belt,basket drive tube,or brake assembly.
The new components are--DRIVE MOTOR--the drive motor is an electronically operated direct drive 3 phase brush less dc motor design that moves the impeller/agitator,and spin the basket without the use of a transmission.
The motor is comprised of a stator that is bolted to the base of the washer tub,and a rotor that is attached to the drive shaft.
The motor direction and speed is controlled,by the machine/motor controller,and is monitored by a rotor position sensor,(rps),located on the stator.
Basket--the basket is designed with a traditional balance ring at the top and a flotation chamber at the base.
The outside surface of the basket is punched to allow lint to catch on the holes during the wash cycle.
When the water drains,the lint will be flushed off and out the drain.
Basket hub--the basket hub consists of two splined components that engage or disengage based on the position of the basket in the vertical direction.
The outer hub component is fastened to the bottom of the basket,while the inner component is attached to the end of the drive shaft.
