Fully supported linear bearings - Radial squareness

Kits are hardly ever a good idea as they are never matched. You need motors with very low inductance and drives that can handle 68V volts to get the best out of them. Go for a toroidal type power supply rather than a switch mode type.

Before you start spending hard earned cash it might be better to do some research as these parts can make all the difference between a good machine and a duff.

Thanks Clive, I dont have an issue with switchmode PSU's. As a worst case i'll make a quick back EMF circuit and put some filtering caps across the bridge.

You are dead right about the affect of inductance on supply voltage, especially at higher RPMs. So I have found a reasonably priced torquey Nema23 model

inductance is 3.8mH - The lowest i've seen on ebay in that size.

What is everyones thought on this motor?
