Picking out a power supply

[Scra99tch]

I am a bit new to this so bear with me. I am trying to pick out the best power supply for my setup which is comming along quite nicely.

Trouble is I do not know what the best power supply I can use for full effect.

MY setup will be as follows.

3 Slo Syn KML062F07 Stepper Bipolar (4 wires) rated at 2.48 Vdc and 3.3 Amps (nameplate stats).

3 IMS IM483 Drivers which run at 12+ to 45+vdc with 3A peak* (depending on input current).

I also need to supply the opto supply 5vdc+ for the inputs, my table has two hall effect switchs which I believe run at 5-9vdc.

And last but not least possibly a 24-48V Servo motor hopefully able to cut machine steels.

Any tips suggestions would be appreciated thanks.

By the way I am using a 24vdc switching powersupply 2A type Matsu****a and its powering my 1 axis test stepper just fine no stalling or heavy resonance.

And I would like to avoid that intial jump when poiwering these steppers up

My favorite trick for a 5VDC power supply is the PC itself. Purchase a USB extension cable, cut off the end that dosen't connect to the USB port and pull the 5VDC from that. Just use a voltmeter between the case of the PC and the 4 seperate leads, and you will find the one that is 5VDC. This also helps minimize the chances of voltage spikes harming your computer, as the power is coming from the PC to begin with.

Be careful with this though (5V from the USB port) -- make sure you don't need more than 100mA total. The port is spec'd to deliver 100mA and if the USB application needs more, it will request it using the USB protocol. The PC, if it can honor the request, will then allow 500mA IIRC.
