    Need help selecting a new transformer

    Hi
    I need to change my z axis stepper to a larger motor. It seems
    I`m loosing steps on the Z axis. I have a secondary power supply
    in place that has a max amp rating of 4 amps. It seems now the
    supply is too small for the homeshopcnc stepper I`d like to use.
    So I need a new transformer for the z and a potential 4th axis.
    I don`t have room in the enclosure for a toridal transformer so
    I need a recommendation for a standard square transformer and
    also a recommended voltage and amp rating. I`m hoping someone might
    have a source for this transformer. I looked at Mouser and Digikey
    but a 10 amp 48 volt transformer seems hard to find. I use Gechos
    on all the axes.
    Regards Barry

    Hi Barry

    Check Phil's page http://pminmo.com He has a 24V, 10A tranny specked out. It's not the 48V you were asking for.
