Hello,
I'm in the process of moving a CNC boring mill that has a dead control. I need to be able to jog the head/spindle up so that the counterweight can be rested on a steel support bar for the lift and move. The mill has 150 VDC brushed servo motors on it. I wondered if a guy could use 2 12v car batteries, 24V in total to drive the motor slowly to accomplish this.. Or, would I be better off to just support the head with a come-along, remove the motor and move it that way? My understanding is that ballscrews will freewheel.
