servo drive compatability

[miljnor]

I was wondering if this motor (pdf attached) is compatable with the 992h and the 2030 I would rather use the 2030 but as they have such a long lead time will probaly use the 992h.

as no one is answering my email I am hoping Tom would chime in!

It took about 5 days for Vlad to get back to me when I asked the same question. He said he needed to see the specs. Hopefully you sent them to him?

[miljnor]

I didnt send the specs on the first email but I sent them this morning.

so hopefully he will respond.

I think I will probably buy the 992h to test it anyway. because I think it will work.

Rutex realy needs to get an update on thier web sight it is kind of lame. Products are great though! But it would realy be nice to have good documentation especialy when I will be hooking the 2010 up soon on another project.

Let me know if you buy one and it works, I'd really like to grab those motors for future use.

Where did you find these Sanyo servos....*smile*??

i realy don't think there would be a problem do to the fact that the rutex drives says it uses hall inputs and the encoder has the inputs and the motor is your typical 3 phase AC(dc is interchangable for the most part) brushless motor. and the bridge can handle 34amps cont. drive is rated for 20 amps 100v.

the only thing I can see being a problem is the 100v limit (which is what the motor is rated for). There was another thread about the geckos not running at the max level do to problems with BEMF and voltage spikes and whatnot. I would assume that the rutex drives would have similar problems running at max voltage as well. But I don't know.

One would hope that the rating is a usuable number. personaly I believe if you state something should be run at 80% of rating then you overrated your product by 20%.

[ger21]

Geckos ARE tested at 100V, I believe.

$40 motors that need $400 drives.

[miljnor]

$40 dollars is a great deal considering the motor listes for 1295.00 ea

But I see your point!

[ger21]

They appear to be outstanding motors. For the next router I plan on building, I was going to be using good quality 400 oz-in steppers and Geckos, which gets close to $300 per axis. If there was a $150 drive available for those motors, I'd buy a LOT of them.

[miljnor]

well the rutex ones I am almost certain it will work are still 198.00ea so if your looking for 150.00 your out!

unless your talking ebay.

[ger21]

Just wishful thinking.
