<< steppers or servos?

there is a good article on servo supply sizing here
http://www.planetee.com/planetee/servlet/DisplayDocument?ArticleID=2394
that covers the point you mentioned pretty well for servos but steppers are
a different animal
depending on the driver used steppers can draw full current
at a standstill >>

Thanks for the link.

I have both servo and steppers.
I have the Gecko 320 drives for the servos, and Camtronics 5A for the
steppers.
I just wanted to know for sure what I needed for current ratings for the
supplies.

Dan, will the 5A pull full amps on standstill?
