PM25MV-X axis power feed option?

Hi Stan,

Find a picture of the one you want ! And post it.

OK .... Exactly similar to this. I do not know why a curious machinist could not adapt the shaft to accept this.

OOPS

Fine!!! Sorry!!!! THIS ONE

Next time I won't just grab an image file and chuck it on the forum...
Obviously this is the one with the shaft-mounted bevel gears. OK, perhaps not-so-obvious....

(final decision. Honest.) Not necessarily this brand.
 
Hi Stan,

I've not seen the one that you posted a picture of. But I am having difficulty in understanding why you don't just build one to suit what you want.
The original picture that I posted was one of two that I built for my mill. It is below the top of the table and adequately clears the drip tray and doesn't impede the table at the end of its travel. Like any table drive it provides left, right and neutral.
Also variable speed.

You may be mistaking me for an electrician-type. I must have "plug and play", along with a reasonable hope of replacement parts being available. Electrical I understand- kill power, match wire colors, reconnect power, hope there are none of those big bluish-white puffy sparks.

Now, when I get to the Z axis, that will be a different story. I am thinking a wiper motor, but I am looking for one developed for monsoons so I can have a rapid on that. I don't want one that is so slow I am overcome by the temptation to re-install the crank handle! But, the Z will not get as much use as the X. I imagine the Y axis will be an operation similar to the Z.

Cheers!

Stan, I use a variable voltage power supply, and can vary the table speed from a standstill up to about 120" inches a minute.
The power supply is a 30 volt 3 amp one that simply plugs into the mains and the output is on a pair of banana plugs.
Also the wiper motor is dual speed and was rescued from a scrap Ford escort. In normal use the motor gets about 9 volts and takes about 2 amps.

So saying that you are not an "Electrician Type" isn't an issue ! As far as spares are concerned, if you ever needed any you would make them.
Non of the gears that I used are anything special. In fact they are all plastic ones, even the one in the wiper motor is plastic.

If you look carefully at the picture, the white gear at the top in the middle of the picture is mounted on the table leadscrew and the securing nut is just below. The plate that holds the motor is easily removed by removing three nuts, two of which are visible, the other is at the back.

Here is a picture of the power supply showing the current draw whilst fly cutting a job.
