    Re: Advice on buying servos.

    I know what a harmonic drive gearbox is, i was just incorrect on the technical term used to describe them. I was selling them 15 years ago, but made by spinea.

    Re: Running CNC Router at 25mtr/minute

    Absolutely, my point was not to advise a change.
    I was only pointing out that there is more to it than just resolution, and you need to also consider the critical speed on the screw.

    Re: Running CNC Router at 25mtr/minute

    Re: 3.0Nm stepper from Zapp stopped working / faulty

    If you remove the rotor from a stepper motor it will demagnetise very quickly and then when you re assemble, it will not have the rated torque that it had before you stripped it down.

    A ballnut once assembled should never drop a ball unless a ball return pops out.

    Why would you not put the VFD in a control cabinet?
    Just because it creates heat and electrical noise is not a reason to not put it in a control cabinet.

    Re: Stepper motor I.D anyone?

    Its a nema 23, looks to be about 70-80mm long so will be between 1.8 and 2Nm.
    Its 4 wire, so check the driver to see what the current is set to and then you will be quite close.

    Re: EM/AM digital driver selection

    The AM is discontinued by us and we have one left in stock.
    The EM range replaces the AM range and has basically the same features but is a better driver.

    Its not their main product line and there new range of product is their focus.
    the closed loop steppers, integrated products and servos are their focus, and quite rightly too.
