Ahh, thought so, just use some 2 part epoxy, one that is good for higher temperatures 50 degrees c will be fine. Some cheap Poundland type epoxy do break down at higher temps, and I’m guessing when the motor stalls on hit it will warm up a little bit,
Araldite or building stores 2 part epoxy will be fine. Make sure you put a small amount behind otherwise the space between windings and magnet will be smaller. Put most around the edges of the magnet.

My last post in my build guide is me saying I’m going to take apart my linear actuator to see if I can make it lighter. Sadly in the process of dismantling it, ie hitting it with a hammer, I broke the magnets inside the motor in half. I’m going to 2 part epoxy mine back in to see if I can salvage it, but I doubt I can.


Edit, for those that are interested, this datasheet shows that araldite standard degrades at 40 degrees, meaning its easier to break at higher temperatures after 40 degrees. http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/25...waAsljEALw_wcB
