MOTEUR DE LEVÉE DU PLATEAU - DC 3,6 W

When an optical drive tray refuses to open or close smoothly, the culprit is often a worn-out tray lift motor. The RICOH AX040063 is a precision brushed DC motor engineered to restore reliable tray operation in compatible Ricoh devices. Delivering 3.6 watts of power at 12V DC, this compact motor provides the torque needed to lift and lower the tray mechanism without hesitation. Its metal alloy housing and front face mounting ensure a secure fit, while solder tab terminals make installation straightforward for service technicians. With a reversible rotation direction and a no-load speed of 4500 RPM, it adapts to various drive designs. Whether you're repairing office equipment or refurbishing a device, this motor brings back the dependable performance your workflow depends on.

Who is it for

This motor is intended for professional technicians, IT maintenance staff, and advanced DIY repairers who service Ricoh optical drives or similar tray-loading mechanisms. It is ideal for replacing a failed or noisy motor in printers, multifunction devices, or standalone optical drives. If you need a durable, exact-fit component to extend the life of your equipment, the AX040063 is a practical choice.

Tips

Before installation, verify that the motor's voltage and mounting dimensions match your device's original part. Use a temperature-controlled soldering iron when connecting the solder tabs to avoid damaging the motor. After replacement, test the tray operation several times to ensure smooth movement. If the tray still hesitates, check the drive's belt and guide rails for wear. Always disconnect power before servicing.
