    G210 usage

    Hi Folks,

    I have a stepper motor that is rated for 8.1 amps.

    Would I get ok performance using the G210.

    Thanks,

    You'll get about 86% of the rated holding torque running a Gecko at 7 amps.

    Thanks Gerry,

    So it will not possibly cause damage to the drive?

    Thanks,
    Joe

    No. The drive will limit its output to 7A.
