Hi all
It’s like this I have two choices (well 3 but looking at 2 only) Xylotex 3axis bipolar board with 8 wire steppers, bipolar parallel or bipolar half winding?
Motor specs as follows.
Amps per phase 2.1
Phase resistance 1.1
Phase inductance 1.7 mH
Volts 75 max
Power supply is 24v at 10 Amps. I’m working on higher voltage.
First of all I think I am right in thinking I need to set the vref to double the amp rating for bipolar parallel (not possible on a xylotex) but only 2.1 Amps for half winding?
My main question would I gain anything is power using parallel at 2.5 Amps rather than using 2.1 Amps with half winding?
I’m posting this thread here because although it’s a stepper question I think it is more of an electronics question.
I am building a small MDF router for a friend he supplied the stepper motors.
Thanks in advance for any input given (man I love this site).
