Nice post Wally. At the prices of these steppers you can have real
true blood servos for a LOT less if you are patient and look around.
They come
up on e-bay all the time. I just picked up a 40 in-lb Baldor, brand
new, to drive my knee and it cost me less than $300. I picked up
brand new Baldor 12.5 in-lb servos for $145 each to drive the x and
y. I just need to do a 4:1 reduction to increase the torque, but
it is OK because they are really fast motors. According to your
figures I should be able to run them direct drive. These motors are
sealed units and the cables with connector are available for them.
The encoders included are 1000 lines. The big guy has a brake which
will be great for the knee. Ron runs 40 in-lb servos all day with
Gecko drives and has no problems. Servos rule! Steppers drool!
