Interested in seeing (hearing) some more of the motor running. Be great to have a comparison of old and new motors. And, what about torque curves. How does the torque change vs speed on the servomotor? And compare to a normal electric motor at the typical 1800ish rpm
Hi Zen. I have over a dozen different systems now. They all need TH-cam videos. No time to do that with all the parts manufacturing etc. Maybe buy one and do the video for your project. If I like the video and it promotes my systems, I might refund your purchase. Thank you for the interest. Dan
Hi Daniel, Great video! Just FYI, the motors you use are not servo motors, they are brushless DC motors. Servo motors have position encoders, but these do not.
Hi Daniel, I was looking at the motor on your webpage with the back cover removed and it only has hall effect sensors, but no encoder. Anyhow, doesn't matter. By the way, I just bought one of your kits! Looking forward to installing. @@danielmartin382
The position sensor is an add on pair of hall sensors to be attached to the spindle of the machine, not on/in the motor. It plugs into the 4 pin plug and only has 2 stop positions. I do not use that function. The new control units eliminate it completely as most only use these motors as a manually operated high torque BLDC. I do have several customers controlling these motors via CNC systems: This is not easy on the current motors and it tends to be poor control as well. However the new controllers are much easier to convert. An isolation board is required. It is on/off switches and a simple 0 to 5 volt signal. Forward/reverse/stop/run/speed is achievable. I may release a schematic or an adapter kit in the future. Currently only the reverse on the fly controller has this operating system. I will be releasing all new systems in about 60 days to include all new housings designed for converting machines to modern motors. These do not have the extra plug in points for sensors etc so I suppose BLDC will be a more accurate description. Still all manufactures call these BLDC motors Servo Motors. In order to compete, I will have to do the same. Maybe you would choose to wait for the new release. Based on You Tube info, I cannot determine which purchase is yours. If you are planning to use a CNC controller, you should contact me today before I ship your order. If it is already marked as shipped, it is likely to late to avoid return shipping. Thanks Dan @@GeneralDesignInnovation-es4zz
Hi Daniel, Thanks for the info. I am just using the motor and controller that I ordered for my bandsaw, so it should be fine. Thanks again. Dan@@danielmartin382
We have 2 versions for a mini mill already. As for your Ryobi: Contact me through www.ServoMotorKit.com and share pictures. We may have it already just not brought to market simply because we need to make it again. than we need it Bata tested. That way we get feedback from more than one customer before it's released as a click and buy item.

Actually they do have position encoders and can be programed to stop at them as well.

Will this kit work on the Craftsman 12" version ?
Awesome
Nice 👍
Are the servo motors brushed or brushless?
We only have Brush less servo motors.
I want one for my ryobi bandsaw and a set for my mini mill
