Running them at 70 volts DC to stay within the voltage rating of the drive. Sacrificing speed but not any torque. Still get rapids of 120 ipm on the Bridgeport. These actually exceed the Geckos capability but work reliably. So, anything equal to or less than these NEMA 42 motors will work with a Gecko 320. When I described these motors to Marriss at Geckodrive he replied that those are the same size motors that they test the 320 on. Except at full voltage. He also stated in another post recently that the 320 actually comes apart at 118 volts and 30 amps which is just amazing. Thats enough current in AC to power a small home. 29 in-lb or 2.9 Nm motors are very common and would be good for any X and Y axis for any mill. Most of the retrofitters use these for X and Y axis. > > Ron >
Hi Ron, I wana ask you what is the reduction ratio of the timming belt you are using to get 120 IPM . The G320 does not have a step multiplaier and no program can give you more than 45000 ppm , so I think the 120 IPM is imposible with G320 specially on a bridgport ?!
