Has anyone found a source of less expensive linear servo motors? I have a client who really wants to use some linear servo motors to retrofit some machines. He doesn't really "need" them but he has some Parker linear servo motors that I installed a couple of years ago and he really likes them but they can't afford to pay the big bucks for more Parker linear drives. These are two axes machines that look like lathes.
The one long motor (Z axis) has about a 40 inch stroke and 50 lbs of force. The other short motor (X axis) has about 30 lbs of force. I believe that these two motors and drives were in the $12,000 range a few years ago. The motors I used before were ironless, I believe they were specified that way to eliminate cogging since this is a very low speed application.
