Have a 4848 Standard bought in 2013. Machine has got a lot of use over the years. Motors are NEMA23. I’d like to move up to NEMA34 motors. Plan is to drill NEMA 34 mounting holes on the R&P drive side plate, and switch to NEMA pulley and drive spindles/belts. Have emailed Avid a couple times asking if the 34 type pulley and drive spindles will physically fit where the 23 versions are now but no responses. Maybe they don’t want to give advice on a modification. I figure the NEMA 34 parts will fit fine where the 23 versions are now - but just wanted to ask and make sure before ordering.
I believe we can do that but I am not 100% sure. What I am sure of is that we’ve been down a few support people lately (folks out sick/vacation) so we’ve been a little behind on responses. I’ll make sure someone gets back to you soon
Thanks. I know I could buy the entire Pinion assembly x 3, but the retired vet pension prohibits it. To be clear I’ll mount a NEMA 34 motor where the 23s are now, and change the 23 pulley, spindle and belt to 34. Just trying to get as much done with what I already have.
Where in Maine are you?
