Phil Ritchey says:
[When I] hooked up the motor in SERIAL Bi-POLAR configuration I discovered: Once wired into two each 2 coils sets, shorting the ends of either of those sets together LOCKS the motor. But if you get the ends of a coil identified wrong (Backwards), the coil will NOT LOCK. A further test that you got it correct.
Questions:
From Bill Kruise Says, great info, I have the wires ID'ed 1-8, My question is how to apply the #'s to the drawing above, 1-8 as you go around the drawing?
James Newton of Massmind replies: 1,2,3,4 are A+, A+', A-', A-. 5,6,7,8 are B+, B+', B-', B-.+
I have a rather backward question... I want to control a stepper motor without a controller or PC.
I want to wire two stepper motors together so one is hand cranked, an alternator, that drives the second stepper motor...
I just can't find a diagram explaining how to do this.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
James.
Hello; i have a stepper motor by superior electric, slo-syn, sunchronous/stepping motor. type m061-fd-6002e. 5vdc. It has 8 wires. I cannot find the product sheet. I even tried contacting superior electric, but with no reply. i can find the pairs easy enough, but cannot figure out the correct way to connect up the wires to an arduino board. Any help at this point would be really appreciated. I'm tearing my hair out, and i havnt got much left!!
James Newton of Massmind replies: Instructions for figuring out the wiring of an 8 wire motor are just above on this page.+
I want to use stepper motor to charge my 15 plates 12 Volts battery. How many stepper motors should I use for a possible parallel connection? What would be an appropriate way to make parallel connections to obtain suitable voltage and current?
James Newton of James Newton's Massmind replies: Your question is apparently related to using a stepper motor as a generator, which I do not yet have any information about.+
I have an older animatics 4 axis unipolar stepper controller and I would like to connect an 8 wire 2 phase Vexta stepper motor to it. The controller has output leads numbered 1-8 with no markings of A,-A,B,-B. Is there any way of testing the driver output leads to know which 8 leads of the motor (A,-A, A,-A, B,-B, B,-B) to connect to the driver leads 1-8?
James Newton replies: The only idea that comes to mind is to fire up the controller with a set of resistors connected from each output to ground. Then measure what the outputs do after each step pulse is applied. What resistor value to use? I have no idea.+
hello:
i bought a steper motor from farnell comp they didn't give us data sheet for the steppr ,the stepper has 6 leads ,driver also comes with the stepper i need to knw how can connect these pins to the driver,the driver take only 4 leads but what bout the other two,are they gruonded or what?plz help me
James Newton replies: Notice from the pictures at the top of this page that a 6 wire unipolar motor looks just like a 4 wire bipolar motor if you simply ignore (do not connect) the "common" leads (A and B in the pictures) and instead connect only A-, A+, B-, and B+. Figuring out which lead is which is what the rest of the page is all about.+
I have 4 axis Micro Step Motor drive with coil markings A,-A,B,-B. The 8 wire Stepper Motor has markings for Bi-Polar A,-A,-C,
C,B,-B,-D,D. How do I connect the 8 motor wires to the 4 post of the Driver Board ??
http://www.qsl.net/pe1rok It seems to me that the coils are labelled correctly, but placed wrong. A1 and A2 are each other's opposite instead of neighbors. On the 'steppers.htm' page it is right. On this page (wires.htm) it is not drawn right.
The recipe to identify the wires is helpful. I may add that identifying wires with six (or 5-wire) motors the ohmmeter method is the easiest. Who really cares about the sequence. If it is not right, swap a1 and a2, or b1 and b2.
James Newton replies: Yes, they were wrong, thank you for pointing that out. I've corrected them now, please let me know if these are again correct. +
If it really has three coils, I would guess it needs a special driver that produces 3 phases rather than the more common 4.
SPAMproto_n at yahoo.com responds:
To James Newton: My stepper (an old one, from Robotron printer) is a bipolar one because each coil must be separately powered to obtain (from each) a step and, after this sequence, I must reverse the polarity for each of them and maintain their order for the continuity of displacement (sense).
I suppose, a triplet of H bridges must be the partial simplest solution.
Michael Teslastein Says:
@jamesgyore Just connect the same color leads of identical stepper motors with each other and the one that you turn by hand will drive the other. It works quite well.+
