How to replace an Atlas SW motor

You might want to open up the switch motor to see what the problem is. The throw mechanism might have just come out of the slot.  Also, I would recommend using the Atlas Switch Board to control them. It prevents the coils from overheating and also provides power passing to the cross rails which solves a lot of problems.  

Hi Mike and Don,

I spoke with a tech at Atlas this morning, hi stake is that I guess from the mth aiu connection at least the one were the rod is jammed, may have overheated in the switching process. Anyhow, he said to remove the housings of the 2 and return then to him and he will replace them. Any idea as to the cost if I had to but them?

E-mail me at the address in my profile and I will send you a diagram to connect to an AIU.

You need to review with Atlas the benefits of their 6924 relay board. One of the primary functions is momentary time out, to inhibit switch motor burn out.  Here is a link to a recent thread on the relay board
