    Newbie Question on voltage rating on stepper motors

    So I have a 24V / 15A 360W Dc regulated switching power supply coming & 5 Axis TB6560 that should be here tomorrow. I have 5 stepper motors. 4 sonceboz 1A/PH 9402 6500 R.416 and 1 STP-580116 2.0A/ 2.5V # 122546 ?? will these 5 motors work. or are the sonceboz to low power ? TB6560 says 1.5A - 3 A max. And the voltage rating is that the max 2.0A/2.5V ? or I am confused some motors have very low voltage on the labels and some have higher.. What is the deal with the low voltage numbers ? that the low end they will work ? top ?

    Thanks for any help
    Greg

    You do not need to be concerned about the low "nameplate voltage" of the motors.

    Your motor driver "chops" the power that it sends to the motors into pulses instead of sending a continuous voltage to the motors, and the driver actively limits the motor winding current to keep it at the proper level.
