That's actually an older motor --

The newer rotors have the rotor mechanically locked on the shaft with a pin -- and that type of failure shouldn't ever happen with newer motors.

Usually, this type of failure occurs when the motor is too hot -- the epoxy holding the rotor on the shaft softens at about 180C

But it can happen if the rotor is incorrectly built as well.

Contact tech support, and we'll send you a new rotor for the motor.

Thanx!

Patrick
