OKIN/RAVEN MOTOR INFORMATION
(DISCONTINUED - MUST USE OKIN TO RICHMAT UPGRADE KIT)
PICTURE OF OKIN MOTOR
This is what an Okin motor looks like. It is also called an Oki motor or an Okimat motor. It is usually black but can also be gray or white. The two doors on the top of both ends slide off and the motor drops off the bed. To install one, you remove the doors, push it up on the bed and replace the doors. If you have a wireless bed, you will have to reprogram the hand control to the new motor following the directions for your particular brand of bed.

Although the motor size is the same amongst most brands of bases, I do need to know some information about your base to get you the right version of this motor. I will need to know about the distance between the two mounting bars and about your control system.

As a general rule, the center to center distance between the two mounting bars on Okin motors is 22.75 inches.

Okin motors can be controlled by wireless remote controls or hard wired controls. Some of the motors controlled by a wireless remote control need an antenna box and some do not.

I have two sources for these motors. Each uses a different operating system.
MOTORS FROM SOURCE 1 
CONTROLLED BY  WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL

There are now four wireless remote versions of this motor. Three discontinued versions with external antennas and the current version with an internal antenna.

The first discontinued version was used by Maxwell Products. It had an antenna screwed underneath the head of the bed with a power down button at the foot. The massage motors used with these versions were 110 volt motors. The will not plug into the current version with internal antenna so if you replace this motor, you will lose your massage and emergency power down functions. The hand control used with this version was also a different frequency than the internal antenna version so you will have to replace your hand control also.

The second discontinued versions had a square antenna/power down box with a rocker switch on the top. When you replace this motor with the internal antenna version, you will still be able to use the same massage motors and wireless hand control but you will lose the emergency power down function.

The third discontinued versions had a rectangular antenna/power down box with a tiny push button on the side. When you replace this motor with the internal antenna version, you will still be able to use the same massage motors and wireless hand control but you will lose the emergency power down function.

The current version uses an internal antenna and does not feature the power down box so you lose the emergency power down feature. You can use this new version in all of the earlier beds. If you are replacing version 1 by Maxwell, you will need to buy a new hand wand also and you will lose the massage feature. The hand controls and massage motors from versions 2 and 3 will work on this motor

Below are what the ports on the discontinued Oki Motors used by Maxwell looked like. The plugs on the accessories that plug into this motor will not plug into the internal antenna Oki Motor.

MOTORS FROM SOURCE 2
CONTROLLED BY EITHER HARD WIRED OR WIRELESS HAND CONTROLS
These motors are made by either Okimat or Richmat. Both look identical. They do not have massage ports. It has a built in plug for a 9 volt battery for the emergency power down option. They come standard with a wired hand control. Because it may not work with anyone else's hand controls, when you order this motor, it comes with the matching hard wired hand control. A wireless remote control is an upgrade option. The receiver plugs into the port where the wired hand control was plugged into. These motors are your least expensive replacement option.

INTERIOR OF AN OKI MOTOR

This is what the interior of an Oki motor looks like.  The white push block is for the head and the black push block is for the foot. You access this by removing all of the screws on the outside of the motor housing and lifting the housing apart. The push blocks are just pressing lightly into the housing and will lift out very easily.

This is the circuit board inside an Oki motor. If I have a used housing available it is usually because the circuit board went bad. If you buy the housing form me because you broke yours, you will have to remove the bad circuit board and replace it with the good board from your broken housing. Be sure you note where all of the wires go before you disconnect them. I do sometimes have good circuit boards that come from a motor with a broken housing.

This is what the push block inside the Oki motor looks like. The one at the head is usually white and the one at the foot is usually black. Because the motors turn the same direction, they usually have reverse threads from each other. You can use the one from the foot in the head but you have to reverse the motor leads so that the motor turns in the right direction.
