The point I was making is that Ebayer's tend to hype their wares. If everything in the ad is accurate, they should work but, I wouldn't mount these on a Bridgeport with 2:1 reduction. With the claim that 1/8 horsepower is ample. How much holding torque does it have? 2.5:1 reduction, that would be roughly 5/16 horsepower to the screw at hold.
If motor technology has improved so drastically that a 32 sized motor is presently much more powerful than older 42's then why do most retrofitters still use 42's?

Do you really need this much force? How about a 2:1 reduction, for 1383

I am using 1/8 Hp continuous motors on my Bridgeport, with a 2.5:1
reduction ratio, and it works fine for a home
shop environment. If I go over 60 IPM under manual control, I tend to
have accidents and break tooling. The machine
is already faster than my eyes.

> The seller claims they are 5.5 lb-in per amp which makes them 22 lb-in motors. Which is hard to believe from a Nema 34 servo with a 3/8 shaft. The ad also goes on to mention that little or no reduction is required. That might be ok for a small mill but definitely not a full sized Bridgeport or clone. If you wound up needing a 4:1 reduction to have enough available torque to the screw, at 1200 rpm on a Gecko. Divide that by 4 and then by 5 tpi, you'd get rapids of like 60 ipm, optimum.Who needs that much torque? Even using the continuous rating, 4 A * 5.5

One thing to keep in mind when looking for B'port servos is that no retrofitters that I know of use anything less than Nema 42 motors.Oh? Take a look at a Bridgeport Ez-Trak sometime. They use SEM motors
