Volfy,
Since I've been speaking in terms of "Brushless Servo Motors for industrial robotics applications (including CNC), that is is where I was coming from. Any Brushless DC motor can be turned into a Brushless servo motor by adding a feedback device. In our business we use Laser Interferometers as feedback devices with resolutions down to the 1-10 nanometer level, our linear bearings are usually Air Bearings and our Brushless DC Servo motors are linear not rotary.
And anyway, what the h*ll does Brushless motors have to do with this Spacewalker??

Planes are a lot like motorcycles, as long as you're riding you are part of the Brotherhood. I wasn't knocking anyone.
Lets talk Spacewalkers!
