So if it is just a 4 wire step motor then it is a permanent magnet rotor? For example this one: http://www.amazon.com/DC-HOUSE-23HS8430-Hybrid-Stepper/dp/B017OYHUBG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8=1461155754=8-2 JT On 4/20/2016 7:16 AM, andy pugh wrote: > On 20 April 2016 at 13:06, John Thornton

I've had good luck with the stepper kits for CNC conversion on eBay, from Wantai or Wantmotor or Longs Motors. These are Asian imports, but the quality is good. You get the stepper motors, motor drives, DC power supply to drive the motors and a parallel port card. You can buy kits with as

Re: [Emc-users] Stepper Motors/Drives

A number of the motor manufacturers Galil, Kollmorgen, et al have motor sizing information information and tools on their web pages that may be useful. I just had to lookup the Kollmorgen page to make certain that I'd spelled that correctly so here is a link for them.

Re: [Emc-users] stepper motors

Cristian, When I set up my machine I had the speeds and accelerations set too high and the motors would just oscillate because they were not able to overcome the inertia of the leadscrews. Do they behave the same way when not coupled to the machine? Just a guess. Need more info to really
