brideport stepping motor/power supply

[constrand]

was wondering if anyone hase used this motor
Superior Electric continuous duty Slo-Syn synchronous stepper motor part # MH112-FJ-4206.
and what power supply and controller they used
its 1.3v 10A amp motor, but geiko controllers only handle 6-7A
has anyone come up with a workaround

We developed a Power MOS-FET drver with the original Slo-Syn motors on our old Bridgeport CNC. While not as power-efficient as the Gecko-Drive (uses switch-mode FETS ?) - it works perfectly on the original Model: M112-FJ2502 (Spec: BM101025/BM131444) as factory fitted to our machine.

A colleague is 'fetching' 1 or 2 of these "MH112-FJ-4206" motors for our trial as replacements for the old/original Slo-Syn motors (one now faulty). We expect to try them next month.

My expectation is that our FET-Power-Driver will readily interface with the Gecko to deliver the required 10A current (and more if required).
