The China option costs 200 bucks and just works too. Though yaskawa is great!
Actually for anyone that's interested I get all my servo motors and vfds from a company in China yuhai. (Yaskawa copy) I have been dealing with Bill their sales man for 5 years and must have bought about 30 servo motor sets now. Plus sent lots of people his way. They have never let me don't yet. I trust him enough now to just let him go for it and he gets me anything I want. Powersupplies cable etc. 23 bit absolute encoders cost a extra 24usd lol. You can output incremental pulses to Linuxcnc and send like 100000ppr which makes for a very tight servo loop. And like you can get inductive encoders that can handle 24000rpm to. Anyway with all the China lockdowns atm I'm thinking that option may run out soon so time to stock up.
