Re: Synchronous Motor buy



Hi Paul,

	Be sure to check if it is a salient pole motor or not.  Salient pole sync
motors always lock in the exact same position.  Other sync motors lock at
1800 RPM but they can be in any random position requiring that they be
adjusted every time they are turned on.  The salient pole sync motor are
MUCH more convenient.

Cheers,

	Terry
