ounces??

[Nitroghost]

What is the best way to determine how many ounces a motor is? i have a fastron type 23KM-K307-G3V. it is out of a tektronix Phaser 850 printer.

...energize it and use a torque wrench (if you have a light weight oz/incher)

i wish i did. this is all i could find.

Model Size= 56mm
Step Angle= 1.8deg
Torque Range= 400~1500mNm
Max Input Current= 3.0 A
Resistance Range= 0.6~28

Convert this to oz-in, you should be able to find a conversion factor using Google.

56.6 oz in~ 212.4 oz in

Thanks "oldmanandhistoy" i have been looking for the conversion factor. Is this a good motor to start with? I am going to be milling wood, plastic and eventually aluminium. Do I want to go with a bigger motor later on? Thanks

Down load the converter here http://www.cnczone.com/modules.php?n...warticle&id=23 for Windows.

Have you got the machine frame built/bought yet?

If not forget about the stepper motors and electronics until you have; unless you are on a tight budget and need to estimate costs first.

If you have then it is impossible for anyone to advice on stepper motor recommendations without a lot of information about the machine frame.

Have a look at this thread for calculating stepper motor size. What motor, screw and gearing should I choose? v1.2

working on the top half right now. getting ready to start on the screw and the axis nuts. this is all new to me and i am taking it slow so i can research any problems that come up.
