So, If I have a stepper, like a powermax 2, and it lists:
5.17Volt 1.63Amp, 1.8*/step, 200steps/rev
And I have a stepper driver that says 48v, 6amp max, then will I be hurting the stepper running it at 48v? Or do I run the stepper at 5v? I don't understand the voltage part of steppers. Also, how do I know how many phases a stepper is? Say a 8 lead bipolar.
Can someone explain these things for me? Thanks -Zack
