Stepper Motor: Bipolar, 200 Steps/Rev, 57×76mm, 3.2V, 2.8 A/Phase

Bipolar stepper motor wires are terminated with bare leads.

Bipolar stepper motor wiring diagram.

Overview

This high-torque hybrid bipolar stepping motor has a 1.8° step angle (200 steps/revolution). Each phase draws 2.8 A at 3.2 V, allowing for a holding torque of 19 kg-cm (270 oz-in). The motor has four color-coded wires terminated with bare leads: black and green connect to one coil; red and blue connect to the other. It can be controlled by a pair of suitable H-bridges (one for each coil), but we recommend using an appropriately powerful bipolar stepper motor driver, such as our High-Power Stepper Motor Driver 36v4, or our Tic 36v4 High-Power Stepper Motor Controller. In particular, the Tic makes control easy because it supports six different interfaces (USB, TTL serial, I²C, RC, analog voltages, and quadrature encoder) and is configurable over USB with our free configuration utility.

NEMA 23 stepper motor (item #1475) mounted with a steel L-bracket for NEMA 23 stepper motors.

Our 1/4″ universal mounting hub and 1/4″ scooter wheel adapter can be used to mount objects on the stepper motor’s 1/4″-diameter output shaft, and we carry a NEMA 23 steel bracket for securely mounting this stepper motor to a flat surface.

Stepper Motor Applications

Stepper motors are generally used in a variety of applications where precise position control is desirable and the cost or complexity of a feedback control system is unwarranted. Here are a few applications where stepper motors are often found:

• Printers
• CNC machines
• 3D printer/prototyping machines (e.g. RepRap)
• Laser cutters
• Pick and place machines
• Linear actuators
• Hard drives
