    hello james

    what if one has a high inductance motor(13mH), current 2amps/phase and uses high voltages like 80-100volts to increase motor rpm = higher IPM (travel-cnc), can linistepper be used at these voltages or what should one do to getting the drive working at these spec.?

    thanks

    Higher voltage will give you a higher step rate, but even 80 volts is well past the 36 volt rating of the Linistepper and that amount of power (80*2=160 watts) is more than the Linisteppers maximum 100 watt rated power. For that sort of power, you really need to go to a geckodrive. At $61/driver, the Gecko is the next step up, but one you will need to take for that setup. The Linistepper can certainly run that motor at 2 amps, and up to 36 volts with a CPU fan for a heatsink on the drive transistors, but your IPM may be less.
