Review on 269Oz Stepper Router by STEPPERONLINE by Justin Albright

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very powerful electric motor tool

OMG, this is the most powerful stepper motor I have ever had. I applied 2.0A to the coil just under 2V and snapped the vise onto the shaft and it is extremely difficult to force the skip/stop in full sequence mode. Tries to twist my wrist. Ignore the supplied spec card, it's wrong. Use your meter to determine the cable configuration. I'm using a 24V buck converter with a 5A buck converter and via an L298 double H bridge. The L298 can't handle current for long without blowing out, so I have a pair of BTS7960 43A H-Bridge Modules. This motor directly drives a 6 inch pneumatic rough terrain tire (5 tire drives total) for an outdoor robotics project. Its power can be enough to directly drive an 8 inch tire. I'll have to experiment with that. It's probably running at around 200rpm in full sequence mode in 3µs increments.

Pros
  • Brackets and accessories
Cons
  • So far so good
