Re: nema 34 motors on BP series 1 conversion

Ron,
~40 lb/in is ~600 oz/in, if i did the math right....

I am doing a bp convo with amtek 600+ oz in, 40v/14a... and a 2:1 on
the x/y and a 3:1 on the knee... and if it's a problem, i'll be
adding a gas sturt.

good to hear that's about what's done...

if i get 30 IPM, i would be overly pleased... 20 will be happy, 10
will work...

jeffe

for X and Y with some of higher torque. I've looked at alot of
b/port conversions and most of them have Nema 42 29lb/in or greater.

40lb/in DC brush servos on X,Y and Z with US digital E5S-200 encoders
retrofitted rated at 40v/k 2500 Rpm making them 100volt and 13.7 amps
stall torque 29 amps. The Geckos will not handle 100 volts so I'm
running them at a lesser voltage sacrificing a bit of speed but still
have the torque because I can still supply the amperage. Mach 2
software. Sound Logic Mach2 breakout board for interface which makes
it all work together very well. It will easily maintain rapids of 120
ipm on X and Y and 60 ipm rapids on Z as I am driving the knee.

zero problems with it. The only complaint I have is chips get in the
keyboard. Now I'm starting to change the wiring a bit so the PC has
to be on before the servo control will start for safety concerns and
I hate to mess with it because it runs perfectly. Never lost a step.
