General Mach Discussion / Re: Help request - Siemens synchronous servo motors

They are AC servos so you will need a drive capable of driving AC Servos.
Problem will be finding one that is compatible with these specific motors which will likely mean you will need to look at Siemens servo drives.
Some AC drives can be configured for "custom" motors but that will all depend on the specs of the motors and more importantly the feedback on the motors.
For example the Allen Bradley DSD drives have the option to configure custom motors but you need either 5v incremental encoders or Sine/Cosine smart encoders, not sure what your motors have. If they have resolvers or some other form of encoders then the DSD drives would be no use.
