Gyrodec help

[stians]

Hello!
I have a AC Papst/Gyropower controlled Michell Gyrodec. When turned on it uses up to 4-5 minutes to achieve the correct speed - then on steady. I have checked bearing, oiled motor/bearing, belts are ok etc. It really seems to be a power issue, but the AC output is steady from the moment I turn it on. I am not sure though if the voltage alone gives the complete picture. I have two theories: capacitors in the Gyropower (looks fine, no sweating/bulging) or the small capacitor on the motor.
Today, I tried turning on the power and waited for an hour. The rpm was immediately correct.
Any help would be appreciated!

I suggest contacting Michell Engineering directly.

Hi

you should try to replace the small ceramic capacitor in the motor, otherwise it could be the power supply (this is the one offered as standard?) that despite having a constant voltage warming does not have enough power to run the engine regularly.
