I'm looking for cheap servo motors to control some positioning movements on a grinder, since the steppers are way too limited in their torque. So I was looking for chinese servo motors, (since my steppers and drives are from china and work very well), and I found this:http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/466312062/130ST_M07725_2kw_industrial_motor.html I was wondering if any of you have experience with these kind of servos, and what do you think about it, because the prices are way too cheap. USD 265 for a 2kw servo motor and USD 290 for the driver. So I would be thanked if you can tell me your thoughts about this, and of course I'll be more thanked if you have any recomendation. Best regards! -- *Leonardo Marsaglia*. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
