Pm-727m Powered Z Axis

[jdell42]

This is the motor I used. A few things I don't like about it.. even at 100 RPM it is still too slow for my liking. Second it draws a lot of current (16A), which was not a problem for me as I had a supply available, but I had to use a bigger supply than I wanted to. Also it works but could have a bit more torque... a 10 N-M motor would be better.

That would be awesome Lee. Really get tired of cranking that handle Thanks for the help!

I need to figure out a good compact system for this.

I used a conveyor oven motor and controller. The gear ratio is 600:1. I had to increase the final drive and run the motor at 3000 rpm

Looks like that works well!

It does work well. But it doesn't need the good controller as i just run it at max speed. I think a gear ratio of 100: 1 for direct drive would be ideal. But i had this stuff laying around, so the price was right.

I wish there was a bolt on option, i guess I'm lazy. Looks like most people are having to use some sort of gear reduction. It would be nice to have a compact unit like what's on the X axis feeds.

So I'm thinking of using the parts from either a ATV winch for D.C. Or a mini Hoist for ac power. What do you guys think?

Finished my version a couple days ago, used a atv winch, 15v power supply and lovejoy coupler. Little slower than what I want but it's better than busting knuckles.
