Hello All
I am very new in CNC machine, I just begin to build a Router cnc, I have 2 set of stepper motor, one of them is a normal 6 wires and the other is 5 phase 5 wires penta set.
With the normal 6 wires I bought a Mc433 drive from Ebay, and also I built a drive from Instructable site too.
But I can not looking for a 5 phase drive, can any body tell me why??
1- is it too hard to make?
2- I open my 5 phase stepper, there are 10 block of wires? is it normal for a 5 phase motor?

any help will be great

Thank

Lehung, I have found a great deal of info on 5-phase stepper motors from the oriental motor website, It appears as though all of there 5 phase motors are in the penta configuration. Also there is a star configuration (Micron I believe) that come with 10 wires.

Oriental motors 5-phase info (bottom of page) they also have a 2 vs 5 phase article which is very informative.

Here is a page showing the star configuration (can't find where I found it before)

Hope some of this info might help in identifying the 10 wires. As for building a 5 phase controller, I hope to in the future and will post any results. For now I have bought a udx5114 controller of ebay (5 phase penta driver) because of time.

Good luck !!
