Tida TD4A Lathe driver motor configuration?and size and RPM ,and pulley size

[matthewsx]

here is the nameplate picture and a picture of the duplex pulley

View attachment 425514View attachment 425515

the pulley is for B style fractional horsepower belts

i incorrectly identified this motor, as it is only 1Hp, not 1.5 Hp as i had in my other lathe- sorry for any confusion

Mine looks very similar and I also have the original control box.

I also have the stock motor available if you're interested but shipping is probably prohibitive to Alberta.

Get a 2HP 3 phase and VFD, you won't be sorry.

I don't have 3 phase power at my shop unfortunatly

Sounds like someone installed a 3450 rpm motor in it
A VFD variable frequency drive is a device used with a 3-phase motor to give variable speed among other features
Some models can also convert single phase power to 3-phase

thanks

You run the three phase motor from a VFD which uses single phase. This provides variable speed which is really nice for a lathe.

This setup costs a little more than getting a single phase motor but well worth it IMHO. There are lots of threads on here about how to do it, can be as simple as what I’ve done and as complete as what @mksj does.
