Hi I have a TM Motor with these specs that I hooked up to my wood lathe.
1.75 HP Continuous Duty @ 90 VDC
Amps 15
4200 RPM @ 90 VDC
using an MC-60 control board.
I actually have three questions.
1) I've found that under load the motor bogs down pretty quickly. Is there anything I can do to increase the torque on this motor? And if not, what kind size motor would you recommend? fwiw max rpm don't really matter to me I really only need to go up to 2 maybe 3K max.
2) Because I run at lower rpm (500 - 3k) and I have a 10k potentiometer, it is not easy to adjust in between those speeds, it's like 5 degrees and your too far. Would increasing the k of the pot make it more sensitive?
3) when I turn the motor on, it takes 1 - 2 seconds before it turns. This seems odd to me. Not really a problem, just wondering if it's indicative of a problem.
Thanks for the help
