Re: Best source for Servo's ??

The 10-1783 is Treadmill motor and can also be found on eBay.

ViewItem&category=15280&item=7124180109&rd=1

1) Has anyone ever connected this motor to a G320 servo drive?
2) Is there a difference between a DC Permanent Magnet Motors and
Servo DC Motor?

If these motors would work like a servo motor, they would make a
lowcost high power servo motor.

Apart from Ebay, http://www.surpluscenter.com/ have some motors that
work well on a Bridgeport size mill or larger router. Look for items
10-1783 or 10-1573. Item 10-1573 has a longer shaft sticking out the
back for an encoder. If you grind the shaft down a bit then the
encoder off of item 10-1834 can be made to fit. They also do a number
of smaller servo motors.

Pretty much any permanent magent DC motor can be made into a servo
motor with the addition of an encoder. It won't have the same
acceleration and smoothness as a proper servo motor but in practise
they still work well.
