I've used Automation Direct servos and Teco servos for Brushless applications. I think the Automation Direct and Tecos are very comparable. I use the Automation Direct breakout boards on the Teco drives to make wiring easier. The terminal wiring numbers don't match up but once that is sorted, it works great. I've lost count of the number of Teco's I have setup. I'm doing 6 right now but they are not for CNC applications. These will be controlled via PLCs. I used some DC brush analog drives from Anaheim Automation (I think) and they worked fine on a DC servo retrofit with LinuxCNC. Teco sells via Machmotion and a few other US distributors. FWIW, I was working on a Flow Waterjet yesterday and the customer (a guy I have known for almost 20 years) recently sold off a Machmotion retrofitted Plasma cutter. This guy is really smart and an ex-controls engineer and he said the controls absolutely sucked and he couldn't get the machine to run reliably. I've got LinuxCNC running another Flow water jet so he wanted to know about the previous retrofit with LinuxCNC.
