Stall torque 3NM cont. Max RPM 2400. Max voltage 140 DC 140V * 30A = 4200W 140V * 5.8A = 800W 3Nm * 2400 rpm = 750W You probably want at least 750W motors, geared to suit any difference in nominal motor speed. My small knee mill seems pretty reasonable with 750W brushless servos. Though I suspect that I am limited by software commutation at that top speed end. -----------------------
The Servo Dynamics SDF1525-12 is rated at 120 volts so I assume the motors never saw 140 volts. Still nearly 700 Watts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!
