Stepper motor replacement ?
-
Hi everyone,
I have a homemade 6040 cnc router run by a Gecko G540, I recently had a prang in z axis and need to replace the stepper motor.The spec of my motor is Nema23 600oz in 3.5A. 3.9 mh. it came in a kit from the US.I have found a similar motor at oyostepper.de spec is Nema23 4Nm. 4.2A 3 mh. Will it run ok with my existing mc settings?.I am happy with the holding torque at 4Nm but do not really understand the other specs ,any advice would be much appreciated. -
@leon18 Is your controller board a Duet, or running RepRapFirmware? If you're driving external stepper drivers from the Duet, it's really down to the stepper driver, ie the Gecko G540, as to whether the new motor will work with it. I'd check the Gecko specification. Though it does sound close enough to the spec of the original motor.
