    Cheyenne power supply.

    Hello, recently I have received my new Hawk spirit, and I see the technical data of the power supply of Cheyenne, said the hawk can go from 50 to 150 Hz, right now I use my hawk with a cyclone and putting the source voltage to maximum does not exceed 80Hz. some people say that the hawk is manufactured to operate with the power supply for Cheyenne.
    Anyone have experience with this? power supply that is best for the hawk? which are the differences?
    I am thinking of buying a power supply Cheyenne, is it worth? can be used with other machines?

    The only correct reading your cyclone will give on any rotary is volts.The cheyenne supply won't run it any different. It'll just tell you the correct Hz

    I have a Hawk PU II and although its nice and will run other machines (with limitations) I really don't think its worth buying one unless you only intend to tattoo with Hawks. Even then, you lose out on being able to fine tune your machine as you can only pick the Hz in increments of 10 (which is pretty useless for most other machines). As far as Hawk performance goes, I've not seen it make any difference so, unless you feel like yours is running erratically I'd save your cash or invest in some spare grips.
    Play nice now people or your naughty posts will go in the Shit Box!

    This is something I was thinking about the other week which might help.

    Cheyenne Hawk cps
    (from the manual) 50-150 with 6v-12v
    which = 16.66cps per volt

    12v = 150cps
    11.5v = 142cps
    11v = 133cps
    10.5v = 125cps
    10v = 116cps
    9.5v = 108cps
    9v = 100cps
    8.5v = 92cps
    8v = 83cps
    7.5v = 75cps
    7v = 67cps
    6.5v = 58cps
    6v = 50cps


    probably not exactly right, but maybe a helpful rough guide if you were wanting to know the cps.
