Thanks Hood, forbes is looking around to see if he has a drawing still for this encoder, as I received two slightly different types from him. If not I'll have to see if anyone local has a scope I can borrow. My DVM shows freqency output, so I may be able to see something??
I tried to fit the servo motors last night, but first found that the PCD on the mounting flange was different, so I had to strip the end plate from my old motors onto the new motors. This went smoothly enough. I then tried to fit my pulley to the motors and found that the dia of the spindle on the new motor was slightly larger. I don't have a boring bar small enough to enlarge this on the lathe, so I've ordered a reamer to get the job done.
Had a few hours of pulling my hair out last night, didn't think this would be a smooth conversion. I'm sure all the effort will be worth it in the end.
