Re: 5-Phase steppers

Hi Roelof,
If you can get a very good price for 3 motors and drivers that take
step/dir, why not.... go for it. I have 2 oldies in my lathe and I
have no problems to run these. As you know you have other solutions
also from Berger Lahr but they tend to be a bit high in price. Good
quality.... ps. dont forget to look at the PSU also for these 5-phase
drivers !!!!!
