    Red face Vexta 5-phase / 10 Wire Steppers

    Hi

    I just bought a few 5 phase steppers to compliment the 5 phase drivers I have. Both are vexta, by oriental motors.

    My problem is that the drives I have are 5 wire (Blue,Red,Orange,Green,Black) and the motors are 10 wire (Yellow, Black, White, Orange, Green, violet, blue, grey, red)

    I have identified the pairs, but now I don't know what order the pairs should be in, and what order to hook them up to my driver is. (I assume that I will be grounding one leg of each pair).

    Can anyone help me identify the phase order of these motors?

    The motors are PK564-AA, and my drives are RKD514L-A

    Thanks for your help

    Thanks a bunch! After I posted that I went digging around the Vexta website and found some of that information. I am so glad you could confirm my new suspicion.

    I wonder why vexta is so tight lipped about this stuff? It doesn't seem to promote them as a company that you would want to work with.

    My email is below, thanks so much for your help

    Hi Jeff,
    Did you tried to build a 5-phase stepper motor? Could you share some more information?
    I have a 5phases stepper motor (5 wires) with spec. 2.8A/Phase; 2.42V/Phase and 0.72o/Step. It is pentagon connection. I tried to build a driver use 89S52 as logic microcontroller and MOSFET as 5 half H-bridge (pls refer the attachment file). As above mention spec. of the motor then it will be turn one revolution with 500 step pulses (full step). But, actually it turns three revolutions with 500 step pulses from my driver.
    Step sequence as below:
    Terminal 1 +++-----+++++-----++
    Terminal 2 --+++++-----+++++---
    Terminal 3 +-----+++++-----++++
    Terminal 4 +++++-----+++++-----
    Terminal 5 ----+++++-----+++++-
    Where is mistaken? Thanks

    Hi Jeff,
    Could you kindly send me too? I am building a 5 phase stepper driver, but it works not properly. Any information about that is very great.
