Re: Servo Motors

Those Indiana General tape drive motors are VERY NICE DC brush motors.
They are very well made and durable. However, as previously said,
they are low horsepower.

I have one which I got surplus. I ran it from a bench variable supply
to see what it would do. I put as much as +60V on it and got it up to
over 1500 RPM. With a belt speed reduction 5:1 or 10:1, it should have
enough torque to move a Bridgeport table, but surely not direct drive.
