Product Details
This adorable mini stepper motor offers the same quality and step-size as our big NEMA-17 motors. It's perfect for compact CNC builds. This 4-wire bipolar stepper has a 1.8° per step, ensuring smooth motion and a great holding torque. With a max current of 600mA, it can be easily driven by an Adafruit motor shield for Arduino, Motor Bonnet for Raspberry Pi, or our Feather Motor controller, using a wall adapter or lead-acid battery. It's rated at 3.9V, but if you have a current-limiting stepper driver, it can help keep power consumption down. We found that 5V DC power works well with non-current-limiting drivers like the motor shield/hat/feather. The cable comes with ready-to-use wires, and while the drive-shaft doesn't have a D cut, it's easy to clamp. We tested it with an Adafruit motor shield for Arduino, and it ran smoothly at 50 RPM. Please note that the wire colors on these motors may vary. For motors with Green/Black/Yellow/Red wires, connect them in the order of Black, Red, skip ground if there is one, Green, Yellow. For motors with Yellow/Red/Orange/Blue wires, connect them as Red, Blue, skip ground if there is one, Yellow, Orange.
Using this mini stepper motor is easy. First, choose the right power source like a wall adapter or lead - acid battery. If you have a current - limiting stepper driver, it can save power. If not, 5V DC power works well with non - current - limiting drivers. Connect the wires according to the color code mentioned above. When clamping the drive - shaft, even though it doesn't have a D cut, it can be firmly attached. As for maintenance, keep the motor clean and free from dust. Check the wires regularly for any signs of wear or damage. Remember, the wire colors may vary, so always double - check the connection order.
