Treadmill DC Motor Change

jeeva

Greetings,

If I swap my current bad DC motor that has the following specs (i.e., 1.75hp, 180v, 7.0amp, 4500rpm) with a new motor of slightly different specs (e.g., 2.0hp, 220v, 8.0amp, 4300rpm). Will my treadmill still run?

It should but the speed may be off.

If it's only the speed, I think I can live with that as long as the machine's speed sensor doesn't display an error code. Do you think the electronics might cause any issues?

No
