A while back there was some discussion on using an induction motor as a servo motor. I can't find the thread..
Yesterday, at the scrapyard I hauled two of these exact motors off a roller press; http://www.lithronix.com/komori/komorimatic-water-fountain-roller-actus-power-motor-rebuilt-ni20-200fg-x4kt I was quite disappointed to find out there was no permanent magnets in them, and there were no matching drives. So they are induction, but perhaps made differently to your general induction motor. It's a beast of a motor for 200W... At least they come with a 1000 P/R encoder Roland _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
