Watts is Volts times Amps, and is defined as 'power'. The 'torque' would be more the 'amps' than power, but obviously they are related. Does that help? ----------------------
What I'm looking for is for each type of motor (AC and BLDC) is "You want at least x watts and n amps to at least be in the same range as the old motor." On cncdrives.com I noticed the torque values listed are different for AC and DC motors of the same watts. The old motors were 5.8 amp cont, 30 amp peak. Stall torque 3NM cont. Max RPM 2400. Max voltage 140 DC. I don't know how much the table and saddle weigh, but having had the table and saddle off a slightly smaller Lagun to do long overdue cleaning and nut replacement, I know it's a rather large number of pounds or kilos. There's some videos on youtube of old Anilam Crusader M systems on knee mills, presumably with 140V brush DC motors like these, and they don't appear to be too sprightly. Have a look at this. It's a bed mill, it must have some real powerful motors to move that fast. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3AqIZURMbI I don't expect a knee mill to be that fast, but it should be able to be at least somewhat quicker than it was out the factory door 23 years ago, with newer motors and control systems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!
