No.

A 5-phase motor is very different from a uni/bipolar motor. You need a 5-phase driver. As bipolar motors have pretty much matched their performance, 5-phase steppers/drivers have become harder to find, and expensive as well.

You would probably be better off getting a set of uni/bipolars. Lots more options for driving them. Much simpler too.

Just my $.02

Thank you. Motors are removed from the machine for making foto them I got the drivers but they work only in one direction. Thanks though I will choose for the new combination
