    Question Stepper motor spec' source & question

    Hi,
    I recently disassembled an old Apollo printer I aquired. (Apollo's are rebranded HP's) It had 3 motors in it a tini stepper a medium size stepper and a plain dc motor.

    The larger stepper is a PM55L-048 made by Minebea Co. They have good information about their motors on their site. The info can be found at:

    http://www.nmb.com/english/product/r...tepping_f.html

    Now my question. They list the torque of their motors in N.m. I believe this stands for Newton meter's and if I'm reading the chart right, this motor would peak at about .2 Nm. What I want to know is how does this compare to OZ of torque?

    Thanks

    That should be 28.322 oz force/in. Hope that's the one you are looking for

    Thanks that helps. Thinking about the gear ratio on the motor that sounds just about right.
    Thanks

    Hi everybody,

    I just upload "Master Converter" in the Download section, it could help a lot of you with conversion.

    I wish it could help.
