What do you look for on the motor specs to determine what drive to use? When I look at the specs I get overwhelmed with the amount of information that is listed. I am use to the stepper motors where most motors can be hooked up to my stepper controller. Will the controller blow if I use a motor that is drawing too many amps above what the controller is rated for? Can I still use the motors and just not max out the amps on too big of a load? I am just interested in learning about servo motors now with the encoder feedback. I do have a stepper motor system that is working good, but just want to expand my horizons. Thanks for all your help on this subject. I also just picked up another Rexroth Ecodrive CS drive that I think match right up to the rexroth motors I have. I am just not sure if the controllers are step and direction driven.
