RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Steppers

One revolution has 360 degrees. 360 degrees divided by 200 steps equals 1.8
degrees per step. So, all three motors are actually equivalent in their
rotational accuracy. They just express the measurement differently: 200
steps vs 1.8 degrees means the same thing. The Gecko drive will handle up
to 10 amps so I would think you should be OK.

Subject: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Steppers


Today I have two questions that I hope someone can help me with. I
wonder if it is ok to use two different step rates on the Z and Y axis?
I have two motors, one is 1.8 degree step and the other is 200 steps.
Would these work together? These are NEMA 34 motors. also I would like
to know if a NEMA 42 motor, 2.3 volt, 6.1 amp, 1.8 step would work with
the other two, all to be used with Gecko G201 10u step drives. Thanks in
advance.
