Re: [Emc-users] recommendations on stepper driver power supply?

Does your switching power supply have an adjusting pot? I've turned my two down from 48v to closer to 40v, but maybe they can go up 8v as well? (KeilingInc 48v switchers) For the price of a flick of the wrist you might get very close to what you want. John A. Stewart On Tue, May 28, 2013 at

Gregg; To wear the rails on a Unimat must have taken a huge amount of use! Nah - the stepper motor brackets actually needed the beds to be extended in order for them to fit. (the aluminium stepper motor brackets are actually NOT fastened to the bed rails - they float as the couplings to the

Hi all; I wrote: When it was just sitting, the motor was hot to the touch. From reading this list, one might think that running the motor might actually keep it cooler. Anybody know why one stepper motor would be overheating? Getting the right resistor in there, and tuning the trim pot

Steve, Martin; I have been doing some goofing and think I might have found some (to me) interesting bits. The motors are 0.8A, 4.9 Ohms resistance, 3.3mH. (Circuitspecialists.com, 28BYGH501) I put in resistors, that I had kicking around, of approx 460 ohms, measured. (so sourcing 0.46A, if I
