Servo motor identification help

No resistors? I'm a complete noob at electronics, unless I get told howto! So I just hook up the coils in series, then to the PSU, and then hook the armature to the same PSU, and switch on? Just making sure they'll just automatically draw their rated current! Thanks man.

They will draw less that the rated current because 24 volts is less than the rated voltage. They will draw the rated current when hooked to the rated voltage. (the field that is). The armature will draw the rated current when the motor is loaded to up the rated HP.

Thanks Balsaman, tomorrow be D-Day! Now I gotta find something heavy for them to push!

So how did it go?

Lol, they are under my workbench! I bought some brand-new old stock of 24v 360 oz/in servos shortly after I bought these ones, so they remain in the box they came in! They were tested though, with a 60v supply, but thee wasn't a lot of torque there at that voltage. they are 220v, so the drivers for them would have beed expensive.
