So, I'm curious as motors run at different speeds for the HZ, and my motor on my Deckel is 60HZ, and it states 840/1720 (looks like 1720 to me).
At 50HZ the motor would run at 1400~ RPM, and in the German manual it states 700/1400 U/min, so that makes sense...But the speeds are the same on the machine plate and gearing itself, AFAICT.
If the motor is going at different speeds, how could that be ?
This seems like such an obvious question, I hope I'm not overlooking something.
Most motors run at 1725 RPM in the North America, since we're at 60HZ. But in a country that had 50HZ, would the motor just be wound differently ?
Obviously Deckel must have supplied 50HZ motors to some countries, all of which I'm not sure. But my motor says 60HZ 1720 on it.

For extra credit, does U/min stand for Umdrehungen per minutes ?
EDIT: maybe they do it with the pulley connected to the spindle ??? (that must be)
