Michael and all,
By Sync Gap do you mean driving the RSG with a Sync type AC motor? My DC
servo has a tach feedback system and is very stable and accurate on rpm
settings. I know a sync ac motor runs at a given speed relatave to the
phasing, but I plan to have an adjustable dwell on the gaps. Will I
still be in trouble using the NST because the possibility that an out of
phase condition could exist?
