    Question Need Information About Used Steppers

    I Have purchased a batch of 5 steppers at EBAY, four are bipolar and one unipolar. I plan to use the bipolar ones in my first machine.
    Since they are used steppers I don't have a spec sheet and not all the information I think I need is on the motors.
    I have measured the resistance of the two coils and identified those. I don't know which wire is 1 or 2 or 3 or 4. I understand I must know this before connecting.
    Also don't know the volts and step angle on some. If someone could help me out I would appreciate it.
    I have it in a spread sheet and will try to attach it or display it in a picture format so you can see the information.

    Regards,
    Hager

    Default

    Save as jpg instead of bitmap, the file size will be much smaller.

    Retiredhh,

    I can tell you about the Vexta wire color codes as they are what I have.

    Black--------|A+
    |
    |
    Yellow-------|Center Tap
    |
    |
    Green--------|A-


    Red----------|B+
    |
    |
    White--------|Center Tap
    |
    |
    Blue---------|B-

    I hooked the power up to the White and Yellow. The phases were Black, Green, Red and Blue in that order. Of course that was for my unipolar driver. I guess you eliminate the two center taps for bipolar use.

    Chris

    PS The ascii graphics didn't come out very well. I do have the origional spec sheet. It doesn't give much more valuable info than that though. If you want I can scan it for you. Let me know.

    Default what can I expect from these vexta steppers?

    Hello,

    New to the forum, hope I'm doing this right.

    I have 4 motors: vextra 2-phase DC 16V 0.53A 1.8Degree stepper...6 wires coming out of the thing.

    What kind of torque/speed can I expect out of these, and what kind of drive would I need to drive all four of these motors simultaneously?

    Thanks in advance,

    Kevn Lambson
