About LinkBacksIf I have three (3) 4V DC 1.1A Stepper motors and a TB6560 Driver, how much power do I need? The driver motor say it need 12v for the fan. I dont want to fry out the only free motors I got.

You haven't really provided enough details about your motor specs for an evaluation, but generally speaking with a driver such as a TB6560 board, you would not normally be concerned about applying too much voltage to the motors (regardless of the motor's nameplate voltage), because the maximum rated voltage of the TB6560 (at around 40 volts) is probably lower than the maximum voltage that a typical motor can handle. A lot of people are using something in the range of approximately 24 to 30 volts with their TB6560 boards. You will want to match the driver's current setting with your motor's winding current spec, though.

i do have a TB6560 driver from ebay too, i m using it from more then 6 months now, it is working good, and you need atlist more then 12V .
the TB6560 from ebay can take 12-24Vdc. my motors are rated for 6vdc 1.0A and 6vdc 2.0A. and i m running them at 18vdc 1.8A..
and yes, if you want to save your TB6560 board them make sure that you stay under 24Vdc. and you must have to use a PC817 isolation board too, for saving your PC port.(i fried 3 pins of my port when i was using the driver directly with out any isolation).
feel free to ask more question..... and i will answer private messages too, so fill free to send some.
So if I am running 4volt motors what should my dip switch settings look like to keep from pumping 24Volts into my motors.hi whiteguy,

your motor is rated for 4volts but it can take 10 times more then that... and forget about the motors for one min and think about the maximum board capacity. the TB6560 board cant take morethen 2A pr motor.. so dont run it at max current, and the board gets really worm at 24V but we can still run it at 24V or below that..
so my point is.. try not to think about what is the maximum that your stepper can take.. but think about the maximum that this board can give...
if possible then plz try to send a image of your stepper.... if you are running a 4 wire motor(bi-polare) (my motors are bipolar too) ....i m running them at off-on-off-on-off-on dip setting... no mater what dip setting you use but just keep in mind that never use at full current(or full AMP) and dont apply more then 24V...
the board runes very nice at 8th micro stepping...
and dont worry about your motors... it can take 2 time more then this TB board can give...
best of luck....
and feel free to ask more question...i m happy to answer them
I will see about getting some pictures posted for you, and I am currently rewiring 2 Dell 12v PSU to run in series for 24v... and if they dont catch on fire I will hopfully have an awesome power supply for my DIY CNC.
okey...good..best of luck....
i once tried to do that thing to..but it didn't ended up well... i hope u will be fine with your try...
