Howdy, Mechmate guys...
I have a question that I am seeking help with.
I have built a CNC plasma built loosely on the Mechmate plans. My brother in law Blake built a Mechmate router a while back and I consulted him quite a bit while building this...
Anyway, I bought OM PK299-03AA motors for it and have been using the plasma. I recently decided to build some belt drives for it to get a little more accuracy and have gotten my X belt drives made. However, I do not have room on my gantry for the Y motor to have a belt drive, so was wanting to replace that motor with a 3.6:1 geared motor from Oriental Motors.
My problem is figuring out which one I can get that will work with the power setup that I have... where can I get the info to figure this out or can someone point me in the right direction?
I have the PK299 motors wired Unipolar and my power supply is supplying them with around 50V DC. (If I remember correctly....)
The PK299-03AA motors specs are as follows...
Current per Phase (A/phase) 3.18 [Bipolar (Series)]
4.5 [Unipolar]
Lead Wires 6
Voltage (VDC) 3.9 [Bipolar (Series)]
2.8 [Unipolar]
Resistance (Ω/phase) 1.32 [Bipolar (Series)]
0.66 [Unipolar]
Inductance (mH/phase) 10 [Bipolar (Series)]
2.5 [Unipolar]
I was looking at the PK296 geared motors but can't seem to figure out which one I could use that would work with my setup....
Sorry for being so dense, any help is greatly appreciated.
I'm attaching a couple of pics of my belt drives and gantry area.... no LOL's please.... :)
