Stepper Motor

Hi Everyone,

I was mistake brought 5 stepper motors and their mmpture rate is 1.7A so MPCNC need 2A recommended.

Can I use 1.7A stepper motor for MPCNC?

Wantai 42BYGHM809 stepper motor Specification:

  • Step accuracy: ±5%
  • Ambient temperature range: 20°C ~ 50°C
  • Insulation resistance: 100MΩ Min.50V DC
  • Dielectric strength: 500V AC for 1 minute
  • Step angle: 0.9°
  • 400 steps / rev
  • Voltage rating: 2.7 V
  • Current rating: 1.68 A
  • Resistance: 1.6 Ω per coil
  • Inductance: 3.5 mH per coil
  • Temperature rise tolerance: 80°C
  • Holding torque: 4200 g⋅cm
  • Detent torque: 260 g⋅cm
  • Number of leads: 4
  • Motor length : 4.8 cm
  • Nema 17 form factor
  • Weight: 340 g

Pretty sure those are stronger than the kit steppers.

If this is correct, it would translate to 58.327 OZ/in. The ones Ryan sells are 76 OZ/in which have a higher holding torque. Ryan’s are a 1.8 degree full step, but yours are a .9 full step, which would be a finer movement. You would also have to adjust your steps/mm accordingly in your firmware and/or CAM software.

As for how they would fare in real-world use, someone else with more experience here has to answer that.

The googled calculator failed me then…

Something is amiss here as according to the specs the KL17H248-15-4A (as stated) is a 0.9 degree per step motor with a 4.0Kg/cm holding torque, which is 55.55oz/in so unless the Chinese are playing games again I guess the ones Ryan supplies are not the ones quoted.

As to the OP, only trying them will see if they have enough torque in your build… They would be ok in a 3DPrinter or a laser engraver but with the increased loads from the cutter being dragged through the workpiece you will always be worried that at some point they will miss a step.

Well, looks like you were right anyway. :sweat_smile:

Depends on which Chinese site you get the stepper info from…

Thank Barry for advice about convert from g-cm to oz, Im learning to choose correct stepper motor for work with light duty or heavy duty tools.

I want to make sure the Wantai Stepper Motor can handle with Makita rt700c Trim Router to cutting Wood and aluminium?

It weight is 1.8KG
