Re: max. Servo motor voltage ??

If you really want to get as much out of the motor as possible and
still follow the 5V overvoltage max rule from geckodrive, you can take
your motor voltage and add 5V to start with, then divide that by .85
because the drives are not 100% efficient (none are). I like to use
85% as maximum efficiency for the drives. This could be low but seems
to work well. So for a 24V motor for example,

24V +5 = 29V max to motor
29/.85 = 34V max to drives

So you could use a 34V supply.

Then to set your maximum speed, put a meter across the armature of the
motor, and keep increasing the steps per sec until the voltage reaches
about 28-29V. Any faster than this and the power supply may jam out
and you may induce erratic faults because of following error.
