Thanks Shawn,

I saw those on Stepper Online but only saw 240V. Also, what drive system would I use with that, belt, gears?

Thanks
Derrick
I also use HTD tooth belts for all my belt drive reductions. The rubber belts are quieter but I use the poly belts. The poly belts are far better belts in several ways but they are noisier than its rubber equivalent. That said, you can't hear the difference when the machine is running. :D
Are you using a 240V servo and drive?
I retrofit all my machines to 240 single phase or 240 3 phase.
