Glentek Drives and servos

Hello All,

Has anyone ever heard of Glentek Drives and servos, and if you have are they any good?

We are looking at replacing the drives and servos on one of the turning centers we already have retrofitted, and aren't real sure what is a decent brand to go with that isn't going to require refinancing the company to pay for them.


Thanks

Rick

Sure, they were fairly common some years ago. There was Glentek, Servo Dynamics and Westamp, that
all made very similar velocity servo amps. Servo Dynamics is still in business, but I don't know about
the other two.

You can also find Copley and AMC velocity servo amps on eBay quite inexpensively.
