    Question Help with the choice of servo drive for servomotor

    Hi all.
    I use small router with stepper motors.
    But a few servos without servodrive got into my hands.
    Link on the manufacturer's website and servo model https://www.br-automation.com/en-us/...25r0060d000-3/
    I can use another driver for this motor, not the original one?
    Maybe some cheap used yaskawa drive from ebay can work with this servomotors?

    sigsig,

    Servo Motors are typically matched to Servo driver with those exact requirements. A Yaskawa driver wants to see a servo motor at the right voltage and right encoder. This is true of most name brands like Panasonic, Fanuc, Mitubushi, etc. The driver electronics will sense if the right encoder is attached and the motor needs to be the right voltage or you can burn out the motor and driver. If you get a 240V driver you need to find the matching 240V servo. You can not mix the 120V driver and the 240V servo or vise-versa. You can download the manuals on the various servo drivers and they will tell you exactly which servo motor needs to be used.

    If you go with BR Automation then use their designated driver.

    That shows a synchronous (AC) motor with a resolver F.B. so matching a drive I could see no easy matter, They can be converted to BLDC but a encoder with commutation tracks would be needed.

    Why not the matching b+r drive? Spec says resolver is 2 pins?

    If you can find a way to drive the motor from PWM / direction signals, my generic servo driver can work.
