STEPPERONLINE Nema 23 CNC Stepper Motor 2.8A 178.5oz.in/1.26Nm CNC Stepping Motor DIY CNC Mill

The Nema 23's are widely used in CNC applications, which is what I'm using mine for. I usually pick these up at open builds, but they were out of stock and the price was very competitive. Enough power to move light aluminum at a reasonable rate. br>br>I gave it four stars instead of five because one of the four I bought was defective, requiring me to disassemble my machine in order to replace it. It was necessary for me to re-write solder wires, etc. , which resulted in some downtime as well as a headache. I believe they are generally reliable, but I received a dud that only worked intermittently in my case. Despite my minor setback or a 5% failure rate, I would still recommend them. br>br>I'll also mention that the Open Builds units come with a wire sheath to contain the four wires, which gives them a nicer appearance. That is not available in this unit. It's a minor detail, but I prefer my builds to have a tidy appearance.

(star rating increased to 5)br>OLD COMMENT: The torque at 12V isn't particularly impressive. (I believe it's due to the fact that it's a 12V system. ) EDIT: (42 N/m)br> The driver I'm using (A4988) has a voltage regulator with a screw that allows the voltage to be increased. This resulted in a significant increase in torque (as well as heat production on the driver). br>So, since this was a power supply/driver issue, my previous comment on torque is no longer valid.

This one weighs about half as much as the big one (the big one weighs around 1. 6kg), which significantly reduces my gantry weight concerns. I was able to save 700 grams on the gantry while still having enough torque to move my Zaxis spindle assembly.

Stepper with an angle of 8 degrees and a depth of 56mm in NEMA23. It appears that this is the end of the story. I couldn't get my old stepper to move quickly enough without sacrificing too much torque. It was the same size as the previous one, but it contained 11mH and 1. 5A per winding, and even at 24V, the top speed with any discernible torque was 150RPM. This one is a four-star rating. 6mH 2. 8A) can achieve 300RPM while retaining 80% of torque and still do precise 1. 8°C or 8°C in a micro-environment steps. Of course, the drawback is that it consumes more electricity.

The motor is of excellent quality. Keep in mind that the Nema 23 motor has a 2 amp draw. It should not be driven by small motor drivers because it draws 8A per phase (two-phase motor). Follow the advice in the "questions" section and get yourself a motor driver that can handle this beast; I found a few decent ones on ebay and am in love with it. For my application, it has enough torque and speed. I'm considering purchasing a gshield or a tiny motor controller.

Steppers from Stepperonline are always of excellent quality. This isn't any different. There were no issues with the way it worked.

On my model railroad, I bought this to power a turntable. It was simple to set up and test with a simple Arduino program. I haven't had it long enough to comment on its durability, but it appears to be constructed in the manner of a masonry privy. I'd buy another if I needed one.

Before anyone asks, yes, I did set the driver correctly and, in fact, I underset the amperage to be safe. However, after about an hour of use (during which I was testing my program), it stopped working. The driver began yelling at me while beeping furiously, and there was a strong burning odor. I'd rewind the motor, but I don't have the appropriate gauge wire.
