Larger servo motors are pretty rare where i live, you can either buy them new for a small fortune or you can spend almost as much trying to import surplus ones. I'm wondering if i could just make bigger ones using what i can get here now?
If i neatly mounted a 500 ppr encoder from a smaller 50w servo motor to the end of a Brushed PM 36V 500W dc motor such as the ones that come out of China on electric scooters, would i have myself a 500w servo motor?
I'd find it easy to pop a hole, fit a seal and mount to the end cover then drill, ream and thread the end of the shaft to hold an extension for the encoder.
All i really need to know is will the average servo drivers work with such a creation or have i completely missed something?
