Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi,
Stick mixer seized up on me (Braun).
It was put together almost as lego, just clicked together.
What it was bearing seized on blade end, but motor is perfectly OK
Stick mixer is not for continuous use and cannot find on it "Duty Cycle"
(in other words: how many minutes work for how many minutes rest to do work again)
Did anybody salvage small electric motor and what can it be used for?George

If its designed for a "stick mixer" then that will be all its useful for. You may be able to fit a tiny fan blade to it instead of the cutting blades but it will still be only intermittent rated (perhaps 30 sec ON and 10 min OFF).
Its certainly spinning too fast to convert to an electric toothbrush Klaus
