Maxon and ElectroCraft are experts in small servo motors. They have
all kinds, some with VERY high performance. For really high torque,
check out SEM. The motors they supply to Bridgeport for the Series-I
CNC machines are about the size you specify, and at 28 A and 140 V
you have a tremendous amount of power. A gecko 340 can't bring
it to full power, but it should still be quite powerful.
