Motor. Servo maybe stepper

[graffian]

I want a motor to rotate something while it's being measured; i was going to attach an encoder to it and turn by hand, so think any small motor would do it.
But I have a 16035 servo drive and if I had a large motor I could make a rotary axis to machine the cam templates.
I might even be interested in AC servo motor & drive.
Thanks in advance for all the motors I will be offered.

All seems rather vague, not sure whether your asking for motors or just daydreaming :rolleyes:

I do have various 5 phase steppers with integrated g'boxes' , a 50 - 1 harmonic g'box, 10 - 1 very low backlash g'box, large 36 - 1 g'box, small DC drive with encoder and 50 - 1 harmonic g'box

What are these "cam templates" of which you speak? ;-)

The harmonic drive sounds interesting. details?

Yes it was a bit vague as I hadn't really decided what to use, just daydreaming;--)


I have various cams for my old bikes, all worn, and I decided to try a bit of cam grinding.
Grinder will be using a lobe template to alter the wheel/cam centres.
