Hi, this is my first post! ![]() During a recent trip to Tokyo, I found 10 Japan Servo KP39HM4-016 for just 12$, so I got them to my home in Italy hoping to use them in a robotic project. The question is: may I use them for a small CNC table? I don't have a datasheet, but searching the web I found: - they come from old 5.25" floppy drive - they are labeled Matsus hita - US Patent 4,347,457 - DC 12V, 0.08A - 3.6 deg/step - 4 wires (bipolar?) - I found even a picture! http://www.wakamatsu-net.com/cgibin/biz/62020009.jpg Reading this GREAT forum, I am starting to think that my stepper are too small for a CNC. ![]() Can someone let me know how can I experimentally search for the torque? Can I improve the torque using a gear train or maybe a timing belt or a worm gear? Please, note that I only need a small CNC (about the size of an A4 paper sheet of working space). I'd like to mount on it my Dremel (or an extrusor like fab@home), and that I'll use it to: cut PCB tracks and component holes, mill polystyrene foam, cutting MDF max. 1/2 inch. thickness and maybe fiberglass sheets. Thank you for any help and sorry for my bad English! |

| Considering its native application, there is no where near enough torque to move an axis much greater than a floppy drive head with nil for resistance. Add to that some cutter pressure and I'd imagine all it will do is hum a few unfamiliar tunes. A better application is this Theremin that could make the tunes play something you know.You may have already found this link. Drivers for your motors All this does is motor control a potentiometer.
