Thanks Brian.

"Adding more supply voltage to the drive is the only way to increase the critical step rate and supply more current to the stepper motor, so more torque develops at higher...

I would have much preferred keyways in the motor shafts, the flat spot shafts are way inferior.

If you are set up for cutting the mating keyway in the pinion, with a keyway broach, bushing (&...

Graeme, I look at the weight and length for a start, and see you are comparing a single stack (light/short) to a double stack (heavy/long) motor. Single stack is okay with reduction (belt/gear) but...

Toad, you also need to consider the currents (Amps) and load capacity (VoltAmps) of your drives and power supply. There is a strong possibility that your existing drives and power supply are also too...

Polder, you have me confused!

1. I think you used the word "driver" when you really wanted to say "motor"? The whole discussion is about motors and Stögra makes motors. (The drive(r) is the...

No, not too large. 118mm is not too much larger than 96mm. I was actually surprised to see the results of the guys in Brasil with very much longer motors. See the pictures and videos near the end of...

Those motors are definitely okay for belt drives, and I think just okay for direct drive. For direct drive I like to see a motor about 3 kg in mass. Maybe this sounds strange, but there is a direct...

Gorantec, you already have 3 motors of 3.0 mH inductance and that will decide the power supply voltage. Now you need a number 4 motor and you will run it off the same power supply, so it must also...

Which driver did you use for your test? What was the supply voltage?

You say the performance was not good . . . . . not enough torque, or not enough speed?

It will only work for very light cutting if you use one motor on the x-axis, and it will have a low accuracy.
