just for people who buy this ive made a post on my blog for creating a surveilance system using
the motor http://garagedeveloper.wordpress.com/2009/12/05/the-diy-surveillance-system-using-
a-webcam-part-1/ . all is open source with code so :) thanks spark fun

Hi. Is this a Bipolar or a Unipolar Stepper Motor? Can I control this motor using ULN2003 IC?
Nakor | about 2 years ago 1

Bipolar.
Newbie | about 3 years ago 1
What kind of battery do I need for this?
Lyouss | about 3 years ago 1
Batteries wont last long with a motor like this. You better use a power supply.
I tried to make it work with a little higher current, and I could feel the magnets move inside.
Unfortunately, the head doesnt spin
Any clues about whats happening here?
EmbeddedMan | about 3 years ago 2
What stepper driver chip/circuit are you using? This motor works quite nice with the
EasyDriver (also sold by SparkFun). But you cant just put current into this motor since
its a stepper motor, you need a stepper driver circuit that will sequence the two phases
correctly.
Thank you for the answer.
Of course Im not just putting current into the motor.
I use a Unipolar Stepper controller from Phidgets (http://www.phidgets.com
/products.php?category=13&product_id=1062) because I use it with max/msp and
they objects for all their devices
Again, I hear the magnets activate, but the head doesnt spin! I must be doing
something right since I feel/hear the motor working. But something is wrong!
Also, I cant nd a power supply with the right current/voltage combination!
Any help would be appreciated thanks!
This is a bi-polar stepper motor (all 4-wire stepper motors are bi-polar) and
so you will not be able to use a uni-polar driver with it.
The product description should be updated with this information.
Or could it be that this stepper is bi-polar and my controller unipolar?

Is this NEMA 23? (Compatible with this tutorial:
http://reprap.org/bin/view/Main/McWire_Cartesian_Bot_1_2 )
BrainSlugs83 | last year 1
No, NEMA 23 would mean the face was 2.3" inches in width and 2.3" inches in height
(NEMA doesnt specify a depth.) This motor is closer to 1.7"x1.7" so I would call it a
NEMA 17.
champro | about 3 years ago 1
it looks like from yourtube videos Ive seen that this motor used to come with a much longer
shaft. Any word on whether this has changed with this batch of motors, or could the data sheet
be off.
bingnet | about 3 years ago 1
This is a 200 step motor? What is the % margin of error per step? For example, with 5% MoE I
can expect 1/8 step accuracy. With 10% MoE I can only use " steps reliably.
bingnet | about 3 years ago 1
Found in the datasheet: 1.8 degrees +/ 5%
cvilad | about 3 years ago 1
Great motor. Any source for similar motors but smaller?
Thanks

john | about 3 years ago 1
I have this motor and the EasyDriver V4.2. I have looked at many different posts and it would
appear that I have everything hooked up correctly. When I send pulses to the motor to drive it,
the motor just vibrates. It may be a similar issue to that posted by Lyouss on Oct. 8th 2009.
Another symptom is that when I do single steps, there are times when my power supply is
drawing the entire amount of current (aprox. 0.6 amps) and there are times when the current
drops to about 0.3 amps and the motor loses its holding torque. Any help would be much
appreciated.
John, contact me at brian_schmalz (at) yahoo (dot) com and I can help you try and gure
out whats going on with your setup.
JoshFranz | about a year ago 1
I had a similar issue. Turns out I was trying to run the motor faster than it could. Try
slowing down.
gmrple | about 10 months ago
Also be mindful that youre not running it too slow. The FAQ on the EasyDriver
site recommends running it at 500Hz (a pulse ever7 .002 seconds).

Do you sell any wheels that t this motor? I see you have wheels that t to the DC motors. It
looks like the shaft diameter is 5mm. Thanks for any help.

When do you expect these motors to be in stock again.
plaskut | about 2 years ago 1
Mis: If you go by measurements on the picture here, motor body face size is about 26 mm

id like info on this too. i hope to dear god its 43mmx43mm, otherwise im returning.
RobertC. | about 2 years ago 1
The datasheet is correct. We are in the process of posting a new picture showing correct
scale. But the datasheets dimensions are accurate.
plaskut | about 2 years ago 1
oh good. thats fairly thick shaft at 5mm. wonder if i can machine a notch into it. it
would be nice if it already had one.
For something this size, a set screw coupler would be ne, since it wont
have that much torque to begin with. Good luck machining it. Ive tried
something similar on my milling machine and ended up polishing the metal
and dulling a bit. It was fun though I guess.
c6burns | about 2 years ago 1
hahaha yes the hardened shafts are a no-go but quite correct, with
this little torque it wont matter you have no attened edge on the shaft
for the grub screw
Reggie | about 2 years ago 1
I assume this is a standard NEMA-17 mount stepper. If not, let me know. Also, Ive been
looking around the web for a wheel to t this 5mm shaft. Does anybody have any suggestions?
Ultimately, Id love to put an omniwheel on this thing but for now a regular wheel will do.
Thanks,

Ive found that rubber hosing from the automotive store works great for connecting two
shafts of different sizes together, rst a thinner width for the thinner shaft so the shafts are
about the same size and then another section of hose (maybe 3" length) to connect the
two, with metal clamps on either side.

BitStream | about 2 years ago 1
What sort of speed should I be able to get out of this motor?
I cant seem to get more than about 60RPM out of it, seems a little slow?
BitStream | about 2 years ago 1
Im using an freshly ordered EasyStepper, tried half, quarter and eigth step modes, cant
seem to get anything useful out of it.
Im driving it with an Arduino running the RepRap GCode rmware, and Ive tried it
using a 2khz output from a DSO Nano scope, above 2khz it turns into a stutter.
N8B | about 2 years ago 1
Ive never seen these motors go faster than 60 RPM, fresh out of the box or old. If

acx | about 2 years ago 1
I have one of these running at 300 RPM using an EasyDriver at 20V its certainly
not a speed demon, but its quite usable. The two tricks to getting it to go a little
faster were disabling microstepping and using a higher voltage. Microstepping is
useful if you need a very small, precise movement, but it only slows you down if
youre trying to do fast, large movements. I had no trouble running at 180 RPM at
12V once microstepping was disabled. The second trick is to use higher voltages;
the maximum voltage given for a stepper is usually the safe voltage to use without
a current limiter, but you can generally use higher voltages if you have a driver that
will limit the maximum current (like the A3967 on the EasyDriver).
Yes, higher voltage to the motor should charge the coil faster and thus run the
driver cooler (faster charging means the gate sourcing the coils is open for
less time). V regulator will be hotter tho working harder to make the higher
input into 5V
KreAture | about a year ago 1
I found that by using a smooth accelleration curve I can run mine at 600 rpm
with 26v supply.
Its clear though that SparkFun should be selling a 2 or 2.5 amp version
Member #182165 | about 4 months ago 1
No, its not the amps, its the inductance that is killing the speed. The
larger nema 17 is a low inductance motor and thus looses torque at
speed at a much lower rate. You cannot beat physics, an inductor takes
time to reach current, the larger the inductor, the longer the time. So if
you cannot change current in the poles fast, obviously you cannot
make a rotor spin fast with much torque. These motors were wound for
12 volts such that a simple H-bridge could drive them with no current
limiting as the motors are self limiting by design. Modern drivers
current limit the coil and thus you use a higher voltage, but this is
really only effective on low inductance coils, otherwise it just ends up
as waste heat (the high resistance factor comes into play).

Jade | about 2 years ago 1
Warning. Just got 4 of these motors in the mail. 3 were ne, but the 4th wouldnt spin at all,
even when cranked by hand. There was some mechanical obstruction. I opened up the motor
and discovered that the insides were rusty with chipped paint on the magnetric drum.
Please check your storage conditions, Sparkfun guys. Also, before sending the things out, do a
hand crank test. If the gears are welded, it should be obvious that that the device has issues.
Check the following shipment for rust, label: Mercury Motor SM-42BYG011-25 23/2010.
Yep, we just realized this! We are removing the bad ones from stock right now. Email us
at techsupport@sparkfun.com and we can take care of you. For everyone else, we will be
removing any bad stock we have and hand-checking them all, so you can still order them,
we will make sure that you dont get a bad one, thanks!
holyjewsus | about 2 years ago 1
Hey, not sure if this is the place for this, but I just ordered 3 of these a few days ago that went
out today possible that they are bad?
No, this is not the right place for this. Contact customerservice@sparkfun.com for this
type of question. Also, you should be ne. We found only about a 10% problem rate.
Contact customer service if you run into any issues.
Currentamps | about 2 years ago 1
I love these little motors. They are easy and fast to setup with the Easy Driver board also
offered here on Sparkfun, and will work wonders in any project.

Another interesting DJ-related post:
This motors torque drops it somewhere between a Technics 1200Mk2 Turntable and a Numark
10 of 27 07/08/12 11:35
TT500.
Also, stepper-motor vibration could be mechanically mitigated
Also 33.3rpm wouldnt be a problem for this motor
Do you see where Im going with this?
Someone please build a really smart turntable before I do. Do I have to do everything myself?
(Also build the chassis out of laser-cut parts from Ponoko and add fun lights and maybe
a little display of some kind)
What is the sequence for this motor?
Im not sure what you mean. Maybe you can email techsupport@sparkfun.com and they
can help you out. Sorry!
It says in the datasheet that the motor has a holding torque of .23 N.M. But not sure what the
NM means. I have this stepper motor, but it does not seem to be able to turn heavier objects like
a 1 pound 3 t cardboard disc. I assume I need a stepper with more holding torque. Would I be
correct?

I bought 3 of these and got 3 matching easy drivers v4.3
I measured the wires and got 34.5 ohms on the following pairs of wires:(red, green) (blue,
yellow) any other combination yields 0 ohms.
I connected one pair to [A] and the other to [B] on easy driver. (Gnd, Stepper, Dir) on the easy
driver gnd and stepper are connected to digital pins on an Arduino Uno (gnd is not connected to
anything).
The power source a power supply that reads 9VDC @ 800ma (even though when i measure the
voltage it reads 13.2 Volts).
When I power everything up and send it pulses to step it does step and it changes direction. The
problem is that it jitters way too much and is very noisy and it doesnt stay in one position.
I connected MS1 and MS2 to the Ground and Positive pins of the power connector using a 10K
ohms resistor in an attempt to disable or enable Micro Stepping, and that had no effect. Playing
with the current regulating Potentiometer on the easy driver didnt help either.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help!
I meant Dir and Step are connected to pins on the Arduino. Sorry for the typo!
The Thnikkaman | about a year ago 1
Try connecting it to ground, usually it helps when you have a complete circuit.
Hey Sparkfun,
Could you please answer these questions?
1. Will this motor work with EasyDriver Stepper Motor Driver (sku: ROB-09402)?
12 of 27 07/08/12 11:35
2. Please tell me Wall Adapter for this motor.
Thank you very much.
D
c6burns | about a year ago 1
Yes, the specications of the easydriver clearly state current can be limited to the
rated current of the motor
1.
Read the specications of the easydriver and then read the output of the wall
adapter. If the wall adapter output falls within the specications then you can use it
:D

dustynrobots | about 2 years ago 1
I used these motors in a drawing machine installation we called SADbot: the Seasonally
Affected Drawing robot. Check out the Instructable here: http://www.instructables.com
/id/SADbot-the-Seasonally-Affected-Drawing-robot/
Did anyone else have problems with these burning out after a while? We had the installation on
daily for about 6 hours, and over the course of about a month and a half had to replace 2 or 3 of
them. A few students of mine used them as well and they burnt out after much less usage.
It says 0.33A. Is that the max amps the motor should ever see from driver? Or the amount it
draws?
I have had it up around 210rpm. But hard to go any faster because of the ~1ms signal delay you
need between high/low signals sent to the board. It seems to me a better general step driver
would be a board that you raise one pin high to move and the driver handles the timing on the
board. Another pin would output step completion signals. That way you have a feedback loop
and can take Step pin low after N steps complete.
0.33A is the amount of current that is completely safe to continuously run through the
windings. The motor will draw its rated current at its rated voltage generally you will
make an adjustment for the voltage(and consequently current) on the driver, read the
datasheet of your driver
If you want to receive a pulse as feedback instead of pulsing the driver yourself for each
step, its up to you to do some work (obviously) :D

Can anyone tell me how many steps this motor can cycle through in one second? Is there a min
/ max to what you can set with the Easy Stepper?
jandirks | about 2 years ago 1
Will this item come back in stock soon?
Im using this motor with the Easydriver. The Easydriver will limit the current up to 0.8A. This
motor needs 12V 0.3A. I only got a power supply 12V 1A.
Now Im wondering, will it be safe to feed the motor 0.8A with the Easydriver? Does this mean
I have to let it rotate slower because else the motor will burn? Im new to this (trying to build a
CNC) :) THNX
It will get hot and wear out much faster. It will probably be too hot to touch after an hour
of machining this motor doesnt have the torque for a CNC unless you are milling only
styrofoam hahaha
The worst part is you wont get much additional torque at all from that extra 500mA
just lots of heat :)
For this motor think plotter, not milling machine
I overlooked the 150mA 750mA function on the Easydriver. Just going to give it a try.
And no, its not going to be a big CNC, just a toy hobby one..
c6burns | about 2 years ago * 1
Well it can do it as long as the slides have nice low friction, tho Z might be an issue
The motor is the same mounting and shaft size as the smaller (or older) zenbot
machines, though you probably wouldnt be able to use it on one and actually mill
anything.
That being said, it is a stepper and you can learn the same mechanics of a very
large system by experimenting with these tiny motors for a very low cost. I adore
these motors myself if you nish that CNC, post some links about it :)
EDIT: I just tested the motor on my smallest table and it did better than I expected.
You will probably be able even to do light engraving with the right setup and most
14 of 27 07/08/12 11:35
of all you will have fun trying, good luck :D
2.3kg*cm doesnt sound too bad. And ofcourse there are a lot of tricks to
help the motor a little bit. Fine threads will require more rotations but less
torque.
Anyway, thanks for the info! Hope my motor doesnt get too hot ;)
4-M3 4.5mm for the screw holes.
How do you read that? Is that M3 x 4.5mm?
Member #98689 | about a year ago 1
I wish you add belts and pulleys for this motor as it is essentially parts of most automation and
control projects .
I am using this with the easydriver and everything worked perfectly. However, I took off the
bottom of the motor in order to mark where I would place it (i thought I could use the screw
holes on the bottom to mount it). But now, when I connected everything back together, I power
up the board and the stepper motor just holds steady, it does not turn at all. I didnt know if this
sounded like a problem w/ the motor or the electronics.
freddyhfk | about a year ago 1
hello everyone. where you can nd a gear reduction with ratio of 10 or more, for this motor?

Does anyone have the solution for the question that a lot of people askedMy stepper motor
just vibrates, and wont spin at all. Im using the adafruit motorshield as a driver. Ive already
tried ipping phases, changing voltages, etc. Im only trying to get the thing to spin at 10rpm. I
never knew using a motor could be so complicated!
HMav | about a year ago 1
In my (limited) experience with steppers 2 things would always cause them to vibrate but not
spin. Either trying to drive them too fast (speed must be ramped up gradually) and hooking up
the wires incorrectly. A google search will turn up loads of help, and a multimeter is a must for
guring these things out.

I bought 4 of these in May for my Mendel 3D printer. One has failed on the Y-axis. What is
the warranty, if any?
Can you drive this with less than 12V? I would like to use a 7.4V lipo battery for short time
frames.
RobertC. | about 11 months ago 1
16 of 27 07/08/12 11:35
yes, they can work on lower voltages. a 7.4v lipo should be good for them. keep in mind
if you have the motor hold, it will drain the battery quickly.
On the easy driver I have to current turned down, but these motors still get too hot to touch after
30 min or so. Is this normal?

It had this problem for me when I had it mis-wired. Im driving my Arduino at 12vdc,

Any guidance on what the screw denition in the Spec sheet means? 4-m3, and 4 .5mm. It was
asked earlier with no reply. This seems like something people would like to know.
Jagrolet | about 11 months ago 1
I am using Qty(4) of M3x.5
I think the number 4 in the reference is the Quantity needed.
I agree thats a really goofy way to show the screw call out.
Thats a metric 3mm screw with a 0.5mm thread pitch and 4 needed.
Basically a standard off the shelf metric screw.
Oh yeah, The screw holes in the motor are about # in deep.
Hope that helps.
Thank You, Jagrolet.
I picked up these screws at my local ACE hardware, Home Depot didnt carry
anything under 4mm.

No need there are several libraries out there for stepper motors. The one I use a lot, and

Hi,
Im using a bunch of these Sparkfun steppers with Easydriver, and everything works ne,
except the steppers seem to have very little torque; for instance, I can easily make them stop
turning by simply applying a little pressure with two ngers; I dont need it to run a mill or
anything remotely that demanding, just raise a 40g weight by turning a screw Is there any
way I can (rst) measure the actual torque the stepper is building, and (then) improve it?

steven6282 | about 8 months ago 1
Im confused by the holding torque on this stepper. The data sheet says .23N.M, but the
description says 2.3kgcm. Just using google to convert 2.3kgcm is ~207 oz.in, but .23N.M is
only ~32 oz.in Unless Im mistaken about how to do the conversions. Im guessing its the latter
(~32 oz.in) though because at only .33A per phase I doubt its capable of much more than that.
according to http://www.numberfactory.com/nf_torque.html 2.3kgcm is ~32oz-in
do you think this can work in a hobby-cnc?
Does anyone know (or even tried) a worm drive suitable for this stepper motor? Besides the
Universal Mounting Hub compatible with this motor, I could not nd any other mechanical
parts available on sparkfun.com :( In my opinion, things like shaft couplings, worm drives, etc.
would be very useful for any robotics project. I know that Sparkfun is more electronics
oriented, but it would be nice to nd all these things in one place.. Thanks in advance!

Were still a relatively small company, with limited inventory space, so we have to be
selective about what we do and dont carry. Most of what we offer is the stuff were good

at (red boards), and we try to have enough extra hardware to get most of your project
done. But for more esoteric hardware, were happy to point you towards cool companies
like McMaster-Carr which have vastly more mechanical stuff than well ever be able to
carry.
Thanks a lot for the info! They seem to have a bunch of mechanical stuff there! :)

The above question was about shaft couplers, but I am interested in a motor mount. Since this
looks like a NEMA 17 size, I looked for motor mounts of that size but, surprisingly, was not
able to nd any (including looking on McMaster-Carr).
Any suggestions for a motor mount for this motor? I also have a NEMA 14 size stepper that I
need to mount, so suggestions for that size would be appreciated as well.

Hi! I have a 12V and 1.5 amp power supply for two of those steppers. Since they are rated 0.33
amp, I was thinking having a 3 way current divider circuit to route manage the power supply,
routing .35 amp to each stepper motor and the remaining .8 amp to additional circuit to either
use and/or transduce into heat. Is there a clever way to manage the difference in power supply
and stepper amp rating? Assuming I cannot replace the power supply with a smaller one more
adapted to the 2 steppers. And second question, how does the amp consumption will evolve
with speed variation? 0.33A on 12V at what speed?
MikeGrusin | about 2 months ago * 1
Thanks to Ohms law, current (very helpfully) doesnt work that way. A power supply is
rated by its voltage output (which stays constant), and a maximum current capacity.
Without anything connected to the supply, its voltage output will be e.g. 12V, but its
current output will be 0A since theres nothing to draw any current.
Anything you connect to the supply that does draw current will basically use only what it
needs. So you can connect your power supply to all your motors and other circuitry in
parallel, and each one will only draw the power it requires at the speed/load youre
running it at. As long as everything you have connected isnt drawing more than 1.5A

total, your system will work ne. No extra current-dividing circuitry is necessary.
Im not sure of the answer to your second question. For motors, current consumption
generally goes up linearly with an increase in speed, but I dont know what speed the
rated current corresponds to, or if its just an indication of the resistance of the driving
coil. Anyone out there know the answer?
Ludovic Vignals | about 2 months ago 1
Thanks Mike for clarifying this for me. I tested the current consumption and here is
what I found, there is between 0.2A and 0.35A of current consumed when in
motion but the consumption interestingly jumps to 0.520A when at still. I did a
quick test to validate my theory and it seems that if I constrain the Amps directed
to the motor then the holding torque lowers and it becomes easier to rotate the shaft
by hand despite the applied current. Doesnt that mean this Stepper should be rated
0.52A rather than 0.33A if it draws 0.52A to maintain a still position at full torque
or does it mean that Amps should be electronically constrained to 0.33A to limit
heat and avoid shorten life? I got to say as part of my discovery of that I am pretty
pleased by the strength and accuracy of this little motor. The only down side is that
there are no details on wiring polarity and actual wires on the motor which forced
me to try quite a few congurations before it worked with the IC driver. A better
doc/datasheet could have saved me a couple hours during my last weekend.
