Electrical Motor Question

[Andrew Kertesz]

So i bought the Jet 16/32 I mentioned in another post. I think I got a good deal but have a concern. The light on the smart sand box does not come on which didn't really concern me. What does concern me is: Even when unplugged the smart sand motor housing is magnetic. I'm sure this isn't normal but don't know squat about electrical and wiring and all that. It is wired 110v and runs, just didn't seem to move all that fast. I took the cover off the smart sand unit and the circuit board is NOT broken. Any thoughts or advice on how to proceed here?

Thanks...

If you mean the conveyor motor housing, it looks to be a DC motor. It probably has permanent magnets in it.

I have taken one apart to repair it. It does have permanent magnets and it is a DC 90volt motor.
