Re: what alim for my servos

What's an "alim"??

I recommend getting the 200V 20/40A Rutex drives for those motors.
Then use an 800VA - 1KVA control transformer that has 220 single phase
primary and 110VAC secondary for your power supply transformer. This
setup will enable you to get full potential from the motors in
question. There are some toroid transformers up on ebay now, with 2x
55VAC secondaries at 800VA, wire them in series for 110V. These are
Buy It Now for ~$70.

Geckos are great, and my preference, but you will need more for
those motors. Good luck.
