Isn't there a mounting location on your machine already for a motor? There's a lot of messages in the message base so I'll give you some quick highlights (search terms "Linear Drive Motor").
Legacy used a motor sold by Grainger 4Z131. They used a cheap speed controller that is no longer available but look at Grainger's site for a suitable one. From there the motor is connected with love joy connectors to drive acme screw. You will need a dpdt switch for direction and a push button overide. I found my motors and speed controller on ebay for dirt cheap compared to new prices. Limit switches are good, but I personally don't use them very often. -Tim ----- Original Message ----- From: regal...@juno.com To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, November 26, 2012 4:38 PM Subject: Add Motors Hello all: Has anybody put motors on there legacy?
