400 Hz Servomotor

May 16, 2005 8 Replies

Hi to all NG! I need of your help; I have a lot of 400Hz Muirhead Servomotor-Tachometer generator mod. 15M81A, for 400Hz isn't a problem but I don't have acquaintance, idea and experience for drive and use this motors. This motor have a 115Vac primary and two 13Vac control windings, one tachometer 115 Vac primary and a secondary output. Do you have some application notes, schematic, info, URL or other suggestion for utilize this motors in a little project?



Many thanks and sorry for bandwidth..



Regards..

Do you think they belong in that class of equipment? Do you want an explanation about them or do you think they are different?

Hi Thomas,

I have a lot of this servomotor and I'm looking for application notes or schematic. This servomotor are very rare for the motor and the tachometer enclosed together. This motors are old parts, used in 60-70's analog calculators; I hope that some "old crown" hold (as I) oldest catalogues or data sheet. Bye and thanks

Is that motor out of a Muirhead fax machine (circa 1980)?

You have voltages; did you try to power the motor?

It would not surprise me if the motor behaves as an AC powered stepper motor with extremely high step accuracy.

There is a field coil that has the same function as the permanent magnet in a stepper.

And there are two drive coils; the phase and voltage these are driven with determine rotor position.

However this is mostly for statical applications (indicators) so the tachometer baffles me.
