Small brushless and sealing of 2 mm shaft

[DrSchmidt]

I'm thinking about the WTC for my U1. There's space for a 6 cm (2,5 inch) diameter WTC. So I need either a single motor with a gear or two small motors. Looking at latter I found these brushless motors:

22 mm diameter and sufficient power for a boat. Does anyone have experiences using these kind of little brushless motors? I'm also open to suggestions for brushed motors at that size that are suitable for boats.

The challenge here are the 2 mm diameter drive shafts. Standard axial seals start at 3 mm diameter. Any idea how to get those watertight?

I use solid couplings like Uxcell. They can be found on amazon. The 2 mm - 3 mm are 20 mm long so you need some room. Also, i am by far no expert, but the KV value of the motor seems too high since KV times volts equals RPM.

Yeah. I got some experience with these little brushless motors!

Here are some thought starters for you in picture form.

To adapt a non-standard output shaft diameter to a commercially available seal either machine the shaft down to fit or install an adapter to up-size the motors output shaft to suit the seal.

Most of the examples shown fit a 2.5-inch diameter cylinder.

I have tooling for the motor-bulkhead and other stuff. Interested?

Very small shafts tend to be sealed with o-rings and a custom-built gland.

Seen articles on smaller shaft seals e.g. https://www.gallagherseals.com/blog/...rization-trend

I don't know if they've made it into production.

Ha, I found the Freudenberger Micro Simmering yesterday, too....

Nice find and I love how they but up to the motor can like that.
