I am chucking the old control system on a CNC. It uses an integrated circuit board for the power supply and the stepper drivers.
I plan to replace this with a smooth stepper.
The stepper motors are
PrimoPal,
Model: PHB57S112-40595-K3A4,
1.8 deg,
6A .
5 Ohm
I am planning on using Gecko G201X stepper drivers (https://www.geckodrive.com/products/...tal-step-drive)
Are these the correct drivers to use with this motor?
How big a power supply do I need I was thinking 60V, is that overkill? Most of the power supplies I se are around 6A, but is that enough if each motor is 6A? The current PS, driver board is tiny, and I would have a hard time believing it can supply 18A. Doing the math (V=IR) the 6A 60V PS should be plenty big enough.
