These servos look interesting (the SDSK models), price is around $250-$400 per motor, but interestingly they have built in drivers, so all they need is 75V Dc and Step & Dir signals.

$319 (~£257) +postage gets you a 4.4nm nema 23 that still gives ~0.9Nm at 2500rpm !!

They have a USB port for diagnostics & tuning and have autotune software to run once installed on the machine.
I have no idea how effective the autotune is, or how good the motors are but they get generally good reviews on Youtube from our American "cousins".

I must admit to being interested, but at about £300 an axis (with postage, import duty etc), thats more than double an AM882+Nema 23 Stepper!

Don't understand why would want drives clattering up down with motors getting covered in shite. Given time can't do them any good. They are great for machines working in clean enviroments like pick n place etc but wouldn't stick them on router or Mill.

Fair point, I suppose it depends on how well they are sealed.
Not sure i want to spend £300 to find out though
