    Re: Stepper motor- increasing speed rotation

    How much voltage are you using on it?

    Your motor has a relatively high inductance, which will limit the maximum speed that you can get from it, especially because your driver is limited to only 50...

    Re: 1911 Gun Grips

    By any chance would you still have the link to the model that you found?

    I may take a look through sites such as GrabCAD to see whether they may have any such models, but a pointer to the one that...

    Re: TB6560ahq 4 Axis board cooling fan

    With the series fan hookup that you described, the only potential problem that might arise (as far as I can imagine) would be to the fans themselves. It is unlikely that you would damage the driver...

    Re: TB6560ahq 4 Axis board cooling fan

    While it might "work", it is probably not a great idea, especially since your two fans are not identical and so their electrical characteristics would differ.

    As the article mentions, fans are...

    Re: TB6560ahq 4 Axis board cooling fan

    The IC described in the datasheet has built-in thermal overload protection, which means that it will shut down if the device gets too hot.

    While it's likely that the part used in the TB6560 driver...

    Re: TB6560ahq 4 Axis board cooling fan

    I do not have my TB6560 board with me right now, so I was working from memory that the 12 volt regulator did not have a heat sink.

    If your board has a heat sink on the regulator, then that is...

    Re: TB6560ahq 4 Axis board cooling fan

    I would not recommend doing that unless you can first add a good heat sink to the 12 volt regulator IC on that board.

    Just going from memory, the 12 volt regulator on that board is used to power...

    Re: TB6560 driver x VFD

    My interpretation of those ratings is "maximum rated contact voltage and current".

    The relay is not providing power, rather it is capable of switching power (supplied by some other source), as...

    Re: TB6560 driver x VFD

    My interpretation of the 36V/7.5A was that those were maximum ratings of the relay contacts, and not that the relay was supplying those values.

    Re: TB6560 driver x VFD

    I'm not certain, but it is possible that the Forward Run input can be switched by a relay, where connecting that terminal to ground turns the spindle on, however that is just a guess.

    Re: TB6560 driver x VFD

    No, it is not rated to directly switch that big an electrical load.

    However your spindle is probably designed to be driven by a VFD which would typically be powered off of a 220 volt AC line, and...

    Re: Stepper Motor doesn't spin but makes noise

  18. Re: GRBL with unipolar Steppers Information required

    Yes.

    GRBL does not care whether it is controlling a bipolar driver or a unipolar driver. It will work with both types of drivers and motors.

    I have used GRBL to drive a Linistepper.

    There are at least a couple ways to hook it up, but this should work:
