A few lingering questions here ;
Stators are often made of many layers of thinner material fused together into a heavy single piece, can this go in with heavy iron?
Rotors often have lots of copper inserts running through them, can this go in with electric motors?
Is bare bright always bare bright, no matter the thickness ? Must it be totally coating free ?
Stators are heavy melt. Dont think they will take rotors as motors because they arent motors. And at my yard bare bright is only stripped copper1 wire, not copper2 as when ya strip cords from tvs, vaccume's, ect
Rotors at our yard are sold as alum. breakage.Have gotten between18-28$per hundred.
Vehicle rotors have copper in them????
The rotor is the cylindrical part inside an electric motor.
Thanks yall
Rotors go with engine blocks at my yard, Bear. They have their own pricing.
I just sold some B.B. today and it was all degaussing wire I had cleaned the tape off of. And some of that is tiny strands.
Oooohhhhh....those! I call them armatures. My bad. Sorry!Quote:

The rotors (the ones w/o copper) can either go in prep'd steel or if they have alot of Al can go as aluminum breakage.
Armatures (the ones with copper) can go with motors.
I specifically asked at my local yard today.
I just double checked this, NZ & foreign words are sometimes dissimilar & I call then armatures too.Quote:

Ha! I was wrong! I always classed the armature as the inside rotating part of a electric motor.
