Hi, You can not parallel the drives to get more current out of them (wouldn't that be nice though). The specified stepper motors require far too much current...
Pacific Scientific Powermax II Stepper Motor Model P22NRXA-LDS-NS-02 NEMA 23 200 Oz-In 8 Wire May be Wired Bipolar, Unipolar, Series, or Parallel Would the...
Hi Michael, Although the motor is rated 3.5A parallel, 1.75 A series, you will find you get MUCH better performance from the motor & my drive when it is wired...
Jeff, Received my order Saturday, thanks for the fast shipment! Now if I can just get it put together and working. While doing the initial testing I've run...
Hi, Usually a miswire will affect a single chip. It depends on how it was was running. If the wire opened during running, it could create a voltage spike...
Hi I have a xylotex 3 axis board that was on my bench to test it out,when i moved it to the machine one wire on my x axis motor came undone not seeing this....
Hi Gabe, I have never used the chip you mention. It appears to have a maximum current of 1.5A/phase. You would probably adjust the amount by using a ballast...
I am going to use this to drive my stepper motor. My motor is rated at 3.72 VDC and 2.5 AmpsDC and the chip is http://www.allegromicro.com/datafile/5804.pdf ...
Hi Damon, the 116 oz.in. motors would not be good for anything cast iron. The are even really not good for a taig. The are just satisfactory for a Sherline...
Jeff, I got the drive and have it wired up, running all 4 motors without too much hastle through EMC. My 4th axis will be driving a rotary table. The R/T is...
Hi jeff Yeah i did get them motors from deepgroove1 I should be getting them today from UPS.OK im starting to catch on all I would need to do is run them in...
Hi Gerry, The charts you mention are made with drivers that are either fully turning on the coil or not. FULL step in these cases will always have two coils...
Jeff, is there a difference in torque when using the different step modes. I've seen some torque curves that show 1/2 step has a little less torque versus...
Hi Mitch, It looks like you got the PacSci stepper motors from Deepgroove1 on eBay. I have tried both series and parallel windings with these motors. For...
Thanks that is some good info. I dont thank I could run bipolar-parallel holding torque is 116 oz-in bipolar-parallel 3.5 amps 116 oz-in bipolar-series 1.75...
Hi, Torque is an issue of the number of turns of wire around the motor core, and the amperage running through them. When you run unipolar you use one of the...
Hi, I have a question, I have a power max II HYBRIDS motors 8 leads for a bench mill , if I use my motors unipolar they only have 81 oz. of holding torque....
Hi Shorty, Since you will have your own motors, here is what I suggest you get: 1 XS-3525/8S-3 & IDC26-DB25/ENA# 1 XS-3525/8S-1 & 4th Ax add-on cable 1...
OK cool, I have computer to dedicate for this project, this is no problem. I am currently looking at turbocnc for software, this was also recommended on...
Hi, I currently do not have a "plug & play" boxed type of system (it's a future release though), but, the components I sell are fairly easy to use, even for...
Hello, I am a major newbie to this stuff, I have had a sherline lathe with milling column for quite some time. I am in the process of ordering a new dedicated...
Hi Derek, Yes, the IDC26 Header ground pins (10-24 (EVEN))= DB25 pins [18- 25]) are directly connected to logic GND. This is the same GND as the GND for the...
I need to know if any of the IDC ground pins are directly grounded to the Logic ground. I will be using a power supply and need the Parallel port ground to be ...
Thanks Larry, Jeff put the last page back in last night. I could not identify some of the headers or know which end he was calling pin 1. The new 5 pin header...
Hi, Xylotex @ yahoogroups created March 15, 2003 I will add more information in the future. You can reach me at xylotex @ hotmail.com (remove space around the...
