Q: Which Compumotor rotary servo motors (SM/SE, BE, NeoMetric, J-Series, Apex) are compatible with the low power (120V-only) Gemini GV-L drives? Which servo motors are compatible with the Gemini universal (120V-240V) GV-U drives?
A: The Gemini Low power (120VAC input voltage only) product family consist of the following units:
GV-L3E,
GV6-L3E,
GV-L3R,
GV6-L3R
The Gemini Universal (120VAC or 240VAC input voltage) product family consists of the following:
GV-U3E,
GV6-U3E,
GV-U6R,
GV6-U6R
GV-U12E,
GV6-U12R
*** The following limitations must be taken into account when selecting a motor for use with one of the aforementioned Gemini products: ***
SM/SE motors will run on L-version Gemini drives, but absolutely CANNOT be used with U-version Gemini drives with the exception of any Gemini -U6 unit if the drive switching frequency is set to 20Khz (120VAC mode only). This applies to the A winding SM/SE motors only. SM/SE B winding motors are not compatible with any Gemini drive!
BE motors run optimally with U-version Gemini drives, but can also be used with L-version drives.
Neo and J Series motors will all run on L-version or U-version Gemini drives.
Apex motors will run on L-version or U-version Gemini drives.
