Yes, I usually derate my power supply voltage to about 75% of the maximum to keep the motors cooler; however, my line voltage tends to run high (about 122VAC instead of the 115VAC that the...

Travis,

There is an mistake in the way that you figured the voltage.

The maximum voltage is calculated by the formula: 32 X SQRT( Inductance). So, 32 X SQRT( 6mH ) = 78.4 VDC.

The current...

The Avel Y236801 500VA 25V + 25V toroidal transformer and the PMDX-135 power supply unit are exactly what I use on my test bench. Currently it is driving four PK296B2A-SG3.6 motors, which are...

Jason,

A switching power supply is normally used in applications that require constant current at a fixed voltage. Stepper motors require varying current and can handle a range of voltages, so a...

I agree with Gerald and Heath. When I went to http://www.orientalmotor.com and entered PK296A2A-SG7.2 for the motor and then clicked on "More Specifications", the inductance for that motor,...

If the Variac feeds the toroidal transformer, the circuit will work. I do exactly that when I'm testing various motors. NEVER use a variac in place of a transformer. Also, make sure that the variac...

Greg,

I have a PK299-02, which has inductance similar to the PK296A1A-SGxx motor. In half-coil mode, the PK299-02 is very impressive. The problem with that motor is that when connected...

Gerald,

I prefer half-coil connection. That costs me about 30% of the full-coil torque, but it gives me much higher speed. Assuming that the motor is the PK296A2A-SG7.2, the gear box could never...

The greatest heat with the Gecko G203v would probably be obtained when an axis is moving very slowly.

Here is the quote from the G203v data sheet:

"AUTO CURRENT REDUCTION: The G203V reduces...

Paul,
The Antek PS-6N56R5R12 should work just fine if you wire the motors Bipolar Series. 56VDC is just about ideal for Bipolar Series wiring.

The PMDX-122 has several connection methods for the...

Greg,
The PK296A1A-SGxx motors are a special case. Their high inductance (30.8 mH) when wired bipolar series, makes that type of wiring impractical when used with Gecko stepper drivers because it...

Doug,
I still prefer the half-coil connections. That is just a personal preference. It hasn't proved to be better or worse, but it works for me.

I hope that all of you know that I have, at any...

Wiring the PK296A2A-SG7.2 motors & power supply voltage selection

I written quite a bit about using Oriental Motors PK296A2A-SGxx motors wired half-coil. Recently, some users have posted parts lists showing high voltage power supplies that have too much voltage...
