Is the voltage going to my servos only 60 volts?

[Jackal66]

On my Hurco KM3P, the info for the motors says rated at 90VDC @ 12 amps continuous & 20 amps peak.

While looking at the schematic for the air powered items, I noticed the transformer that feeds the servo power says 60volts output. Is there some kind of booster or capacitor/amp that brings it up to 90 volts?


If this is what is going to the servo motors, that means I could use a servo amp that is rated at 80 volts & 20 amps.< Is this correct?

The amps I ordered (160 volts & 35 amps), have been back-ordered for over a month.

If the 80 volts & 20 amp would work, I could get started right now.

These smaller amps have an optional *braking resistor* for when the servo coasts down and generates higher voltage.

Also the smaller amps are $70 each cheaper .

Thanks for the help,

PS: If anyone wants to see the schematic I am referencing to, I will post a scan of it.

Once the 60v AC is fully rectified and smoothed with a capacitor, the voltage will be higher than the average of the AC voltage by a factor of 1.414
The 60v AC will become 60 x 1.414 = 84.84 vDC

Thanks bloke,

You are good!!!
