    Mactec
    I was just double checking all my settings and I just realized that PD007 Min Freq.=20 is larger than PD006 Intermediate Freq=8 should these be reversed?
    Thanks
  2. Re: Buying NEW VFD for 2.2KW Spindle (OLD VFD died)

    I think I will run with the way it is since it really doesn't sound that bad. The power filter is coming today so I will get that installed.
    Thanks for the help

    Hey mactec54 if you get a few minutes please take a look at my latest video in the last post and let me know what you think. I have two more days before my 30 day return period is up with Amazon so...

    Re: Lot of experiments with genuine Huanyang VFDs

    I thought all of the Chinese spindles were 2 poles. In your write up you say 4 poles for the 220v version.

    Yes I thought it was a good price also.Should be here Tuesday
    The sound starts out as a lower frequency sound at 6000 RPM and increases in frequency as the speed increases. At about 19000 you can...

    Thanks
    I ended up ordered a TDK-Lambda #RSEN-2030 yesterday from Mouser.
    Should I stop worrying about the unusual noises the spindle makes. Other than the strange noise the spindle runs and cuts...

    I checked the RPM with a tach I borrowed and it was rock solid,no variation when running.
  8. Re: Buying NEW VFD for 2.2KW Spindle (OLD VFD died)

    Any brands or places to buy. For some reason all the 30A models on Amazon and Ebay are shipped from China.
  9. Re: Buying NEW VFD for 2.2KW Spindle (OLD VFD died)

    Are the cheap $20 Amazon/EBAY power filters fine or do you need something better. Also since I am running a 2.2kw spindle on a 3kw vfd is a 20a filter fine or should I get a 30A. For some reason the...

    That's what it sounds like to me but the frequency, RPM and amps don't change.
  11. The only thing I don't have is the input power...

    The only thing I don't have is the input power filter. I have a 14ga 4 wire shielded servo rated cable with the shield grounded at both ends.The 4th pin on the spindle is grounded to the case. I have...

    Received the replacement spindle today and it is much quieter however it is still making a strange noise. This link is a video of the noise at 12000 RPM. Does this sound normal? Any settings that...

    Both the spindle and VFD are only 3 weeks old. I have about a week to return to Amazon without a problem. Which one would you replace first the spindle?
  14. Is it possible that the problem is the VFD and...

    Is it possible that the problem is the VFD and not the spindle?
  15. I made the above changes and the spindle runs and...

    I made the above changes and the spindle runs and cuts fine however the noise is still intermittently there. Yesterday the spindle was perfectly quite thru it's entire RPM range even when cold but...

    I have my spindle and VFD operating using the parameters in the previous post. The one thing that is concerning is a high pitched warbling sound the spindle makes until the spindle warms up in about...
  17. Re: Buying NEW VFD for 2.2KW Spindle (OLD VFD died)

    Since I am using the same spindle and VFD as the OP (2.2Kw 220v 400Hz Water Cooled spindle and 3.0Kw VFD) I am assuming that this is the correct parameter list. I noticed that PD006 @190 and PD009 @...

    Those are just like the ones I have, too big to fit the tiny terminals. I will keep searching they have to be out there somewhere.
    Hard to believe those tiny M3 screw terminals can handle 30 amps.
  20. I am setting up my vfd and spindle using the same...

    I am setting up my vfd and spindle using the same components in this thread, 3kw VFD and 2.2 KW spindle. With an input of 220V single phase 25-30 amps how do you connect 10ga wire to the ridiculously...
  21. Re: Linuxcnc, Gecko G540, and adding more stepper drivers beyond four

    I understand how to do it with buying more equipment and rewiring everything like the UC400ETH however I already have the UC100 and G540 hooked up and working well. I was intrigued by the way John...
  22. Re: Linuxcnc, Gecko G540, and adding more stepper drivers beyond four

    I know this thread is a few months old but will this definitely work with the G251X even though it is not opto-isolated? What is the danger of doing this? I also need to add a 5th axis to a G540...
