For that reason they have chosen for a compact motor made by Elletromeccanica Ing F Arduini. This compact motor produces 150W at 230V single phase. This motor is of the type called a bolt on motor. You bolt the pump on the flange on the front of the motor. But you still need to connect the motor shaft to the pump. This is done with a motor coupling set. The coupling between the shafts of the motor is done with 3 parts. A 35mm flange connector(with a 7.6x3.6mm hole) on the pump motor. A rubber damper coupling and on the pump side as well a identical metal coupling as above.
On this motor you can not install any pump you want, seen this flange is with espresso machines only with brands such as Cimbali, Faema and Casadio. Makes sense seen the La Cimbali group owns Faema. The pump is held in place with a bolt on top and at the bottom. This pump needs to produce 180L/H and can be made by various brands such a Fluid o Tech(Rotoflow) Nuert or Procon. Originally these pumps where fitted with a pre-filter, so that any debris coming from the water line would not end up in the pump or the hydraulic system of the pump.
Trouble shooting;
The motor of my Faema E61 Legend S1 doesn’t start anymore, what do I need to do? Well you can start to check if the electrical connections are still connected and that there is no break in the cabling or corrosion on the connectors. If you have checked that you can start to replace the capacitor, this is a 5uf capacitor which starts the motor(seen it is a single phase motor). If that doesn’t solve the issue the chance is big that the motor on your Faema E61 Legend S1 needs to be replaced.
