86STH156 NEMA-34 Bipolar Gearless Large Stepper

ID: 3336_0

This massive bipolar stepper with a rear shaft has a 1.8° step angle and over 100 kg·cm of torque at low speeds.

Discontinued

This NEMA-34 motor generates 122 kg-cm of holding torque at 4.2 Amps. It comes with the rear shaft exposed, so you can mount an encoder or shaft coupler. See the Connection & Compatibility tab for a complete list of attachments.

Connection

This motor must be controlled by a constant current or chopper drive controller. You can find a list of suitable controllers on the Connection & Compatibility tab. There you will also find compatible attachments such as encoders, mounting hardware, and transmission hardware.

Warning

warning

Connecting the motor directly to a power supply will destroy the motor and void the warranty. If you want to check your motor make sure it is connected to a constant current / chopper drive controller.

This motor is large enough that the back EMF generated from stalling or changing directions could easily damage your motor controller. If you're planning on using this motor in high-speed or high-torque applications, feel free to contact us for advice.

Motor Controllers

This motor must be controlled by a stepper motor controller. These diagrams show to wiring configurations: series and parallel. Series wiring will result in higher torque when the motor is stopped or at low speeds. Parallel wiring will provide better torque at higher speeds, but less torque overall. Since the current in parallel mode is split between two paths, the current rating is doubled. When connecting motor wires to one another, you must solder or screw clamp them together rather than just twisting them together.

Note: Make sure to unplug the power cord from the motor controller before switching wires around.

Pulleys and Sprockets

If you're using this motor to drive a rotary system that requires a lot of torque, you may be interested in pulleys and sprockets. By using a two pulleys or sprockets of different sizes, you can increase the gear ratio of the motor. Pulleys and sprockets can also be used to transmit the motor's rotation over a long distance.
