thanks to @DonInReno for shoving me down this rabbit hole. it is a 4:1 by Micron.

What kind of servo is that?

it is the original consew cs1000 that came with my 206rb5 like 10 years ago. had to do the optical mod on it.

Thanks. That seems so much beefier than what Consew is selling today.

Rather than shifting machines with different bed lengths to the rear of the bed cutout to line up with the speed reducer, I want to easily slide the motor/reducer to where a machine is.  It’s a tall order to use one table for a sailrite clone to a double needle upholstery machine, to a center mounted cylinder arm, to an edge of table mount! Lol   

The 7:1 reducer was just way too slow and 3:1 is popular for a reason.  This little guy is 3:1 and was removed from decommissioned equipment. About $500 new - for $100 I don’t mind if it has .001” extra backlash, but so far it feels nice and tight.  

 

How’s it looking, Ron!?  
 

I am looking to reduce a 441 and a 1508. What are your thoughts at the end?  Just do a pully, or something else?
