It might, depending on the servo. The issue is that the rotor is sometimes magnetised in-situ and the stator acts as a magnetic keeper. I think that this was more often the case with old-school magnets (Alnico etc) and might be less of an issue with rare-earths. You can generally get the end-covers off without removing the rotor from the stator. That said, I have had the stator right out of a servo to machine it shorter (removing the brake) and that seems to still work just fine. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
