I will be doing a Video in the next few weeks, of a Bridgeport with these Motors & the 48V Dyna 2 Drives on, Plus another with using the New Dyna 2 Drives with a 70V power supply, & Servo Motors with the new 16 Bit Encoder 65,536 p/r
Do they have a package, anyway you want it, they will guide you,to give you what you need, you want to get your Servo Motors with the 16 Bit Encoders
It is best if you can Bore your Timing Pulleys to the size you need, if you can, if you just drill & ream them, the reamer will follow the drilled hole, so if off a little, the timing pulleys will be messed up
If your machine has the 1:1 Timing Pulley ratio, then that is ok for the X & Y axes, I found it better to do the Z axes 2:1,
You will need to make a shaft Extension of some kind to fit your Bridgeport, you can use your original Timing Pulleys, any of what I showed in the Photos works well
As far as there web site, I think because of all the new changes, in the last few months, it will be work in progress for some time
