    Best steppers for a G540?

    All the new parts are coming in for my new router style CNC.
    I have the G540, and a 48V 14A power supply.
    I need good steppers.

    If money were not an issue, what stepper would suggest for the Geckodrive G540?

    DingbatCA,

    You did not mention what size machine they are being used on however this is a good match for the G540.

    We use a stepper in our BladeRunner Product that was custom designed just for the G250 (G540) drives. It's rated at 620 oz-in @ 3.5A It gets the most out of the Gecko drives. They are 23 frame motors with 3/8" shafts (to keep from snapping them off at the high torque).

    Thats what I am looking for.
    Do you sell a 4 pack of steppers?
    Do you have a specs sheet?

    Do you know of anyone that has used your BladeRunnerSuperMAX4 Combo (aka Tom's Special) kit to run an X3 including the Z axis?

    I am looking to convert an X3, with the CNCfusion deluxe kit and really like the idea of the Gecko G540 controller but getting the power for the Z axis while staying in the confines of the G540 has been a theoretical problem.
