I am looking for power supply for the drives pictured. The power supply I am in need of came from Allen Bradley Bandent controller, the Baldor/Osseo are 100 VDC max; 2500 rpm; 500 oz-in. drives. I have heard there maybe a work around using a "bridge rectifier" and large capacitor. If there is a best way please advise me.

Many thanks!

Edit: I really should of studied the electronic box when I purchased my mill so I would not be in this position. The plan is to use Linuxcnc as the OS for this controller.

I'm no expert on servos, but a motor that has a 500 line encoder and a voltage to RPM proportional tach is going to need a drive that accepts the encoder to perform commutation. I don't believe there is a "rectifier and a cap" work around. I'll be watching this thread though. ;-)
 
CalG, The plan is to use a Linuxcnc control to drive the servo, do you still believe this is not a good work around? What am I looking for as a power supply?

Thanks, any advise is welcome, if the drives are not a good chose for a retrofit lets talk about what drive are the best and why.
