Hi Again,
All I was getting at, was that by being mindful of max amps and trying to stick to a similar power motor, I have ended up with a little more mechanical work to do ( not the end of the world really, I have a Colchester lathe and a manual series 1 and dividing head).
But if max amps were not an issue, I would have gone to motors with a shaft that better matched, that way, I could just slip on the original pulleys.
Part of the issue for me, is that my pulleys are like new. Also Bridgeport use imperial pitch pulleys, so they can be pricey to buy. ( I could not just swap out the Z axis screw pulley for a metric version either, without pulling the head apart.)
Yes I have the motors. 7 day delivery ( don't use Fedex, as they bang extra charges on and DHL is cheaper, anyway if purchasing multiples).
The people at Master Jiang Store converse very well in good English too, so that helped. ( most helpful people)
Motors also have nice long leads too (3M. Longer available also). Encoder covers are alloy. Cable plug and sockets are metal too.
Drives have been hand sealed on PCBs too, which I liked.
I have powered them up, but not had them moving yet, as my 24V PSU has not arrived yet.
Regards
Mark
