Servo motor used as spindle motor question
I've been looking at servo motors to use as a spindle motor on my X2 milling machine. What exactly am I looking for in specs? For instance, this one:
Pacific Scientic Servo Motor R33GENC-R2-NS-NV-00 Untested | eBay
I have no idea what I need for torque (stall torque...peak torque...) and all the information could just as well be in Greek. I've been looking at compumotor and pacific scientific motors on ebay. But I am hesitant on buying something that may be too small and underpowered.
Can any of this be simply explained?

Servo motor used as spindle motor question
I have upgraded my Prolight 1000 spindle motor to an .8hp Pacific Scientific AC brushless servo motor and drive, both purchased from ebay as new/old stock. The motor runs very quitely and with good torque from 500-4700 RPM, and it runs very cool even after several hours of run time. It out performs the 1hp 90vdc Baldor motor it originaly came with hands down. I have also upgraded my prolight 3000 lathe with a 1.2hp Baldor AC servo motor and drive with the same results great torque and quite. Well worth the investment, by the way the mills motor and drive were only $200.00 for the set I purchased two sets and have one set as a spare. The lathes motor and drive were $450.00 and I purchased two sets also. You never know when your going to need a backup, and at those prices I coudn't pass them up.
