Can you measure the length of the motor with the new cap? Mounting flanle to cap dimension. THX 5.875" roughly. I do not yet know how to add the link to photos so they show up in reverse order. 20250125_160551.jpg I have to say I have been watching your threads here as well as other places for...

I managed to gain another 1.375 of X travel. Removed the encoder and made a new cap.

Interesting you mention this. I was actually looking into this last night. Def not much room. The parts I plan to make are not all that big so I am hoping I can deal with the limits. I purchased 2 Harding maintenance manuals. One for an HNC and one for a CHNC. I have an HNC but the limit switches on...

HARDINGE HNC LATHE REDUEX 2 PHOTO ALBUM https://photos.app.goo.gl/D4EFqgi72R4q8ASr6 So I have had this lathe for a couple of years. Finally getting to it. This was converted to Centroid by someone else prior to me. Looks like they ran the motors till it puked and traded it in for something else. The...

Thanks all. Bought two motors and a pendant from Rensoc. Got them on hand next day! These have to be unused. Super excited to get working on the Hardinge now. da6ea4cf-373d-41c2-a5b8-d93f291bcca2.jpg 20250109_174118.jpg 20250109_174127.jpg 20250109_174013.jpg 20250109_174052.jpg 20250109_174004.jpg ...

Ive got a Hardinge CHNC with failed electrics. Not sure what it has yet, might have a replacement for you, will check this week. Why not just replace with modern AC servos? Funds....also this is equipped with an allin1dc, are AC servos even compatible? I dont know but dont think so. Ive not had tim...

I sent you a PM.

Unfortunately, that length may be a deal-breaker for the Hardinge, because the X motor sits between the motor mount (which moves with the cross-slide) and the back of the bed. Increasing the length of the motor limits X+ travel. The old Centroid 17 in-lb motor is probably around 7.2" from flan...
