I have puchased an Eagle knee mill with a crapped out Anilam Crusader M control. This machine is very similar to a bridgeport series 1. I have been looking at several different ways to retrofit and I like the price of the gecko drives. My question is this will gecko 320's work with these servos(see attached picture)? If you can't see the info on the name plate of the servo it reads as follows.

Max. current Continuous 5.8a
Max. current Peak 30a
Torque Stall 3nm CONT.
Max speed 2400rpm
Max Voltage 140vdc
Insulation Class F 25 deg. C amb
Tachometer 9.5 V/Krpm

Any information on this type of retrofit would be a great help.

Thanks,
Eric

If they are a brushed type dc motor they should work fine. I have used a lot of them and they are a great drive

As stated, if they are brushed DC, they will work, just keep in mind that with a max of 80 volts to the Geckos, you will drop the max motor speed too. It should not be a problem though as 1400 rpm is still a very good motor speed.
