This is a pictorial I put together for Baldor brushed dc servo motors. It demonstrates the steps necessary to replace the original 1000 line encoder with a new Quantum Devices 2000 line encoder.
My motors are MTE-4070-BLBCE
I hope someone can find it useful

Re: Step by step pictorial: Fitting 2000L encoder to Baldor DC servo motor.
No problem!
These little motors cost more than a running small block v8! (I'm still not sure why).
I thought since I was already doing the work, I would take pictures and document the process for others who might be nervous doing it for the first time.
These motors are on a Clausing Kondia identical to the one you just finished up. Mine unfortunately did not come with the QC30 spindle though
I have a set of SEM motors I did last year as well. I could document those too if it would be helpful. Those motors had a 16mm shaft diameter that was not compatible any standard encoder offered by Centroid. I disassembled them, turned the shafts down to 3/8" and cleaned up the commutators on the lathe. I then reassembled them with OEM bearings ordered from England.

Absolutley, put the pictures together for the SEM'sfreedommachine wrote: ↑Mon Aug 31, 2020 11:45 pmNo problem!

Centroid has some pics of SEMs as well, but its good to have another persepective, especially if a little different.
I have 4 NEMA 34 Baldor motors, maybe someday they'll find a project to go on.
