Stepper driver selection

Post by clive25 »

Dear forum users,

I once again have a question which requires your vast knowledge. For a project that I am currently working on I am using 2 Nema 23 stepper motors which run at 24V, 2Amp peak current per phase. I am currently looking to use a stepper driver to control these to implement movement along with the code I have written. However when looking on google for a suitable driver I am unable to find anything other than TB6600's stepper drivers. Now initially there is nothing wrong with them. However it turns out that they aren't actually using TB6600 drivers but infact use TB67S109AFTG.

Therefor I would like to ask if one of you has any experience driving a bit stronger steppermotors and could recommend me stepper drivers which I could use.

The stepper data that it will drive is the following:
- 2Amp/phase
- 24V
- max 1/32 microstepping (will probably use 1/8 or 1/16)
- RPM, no RPM has been set so far but I will definitely not go above 250 RPM.

Hopefully this data will be enough information to give me some recommandations

Thank you in advance.

In my cnc router, I have used Gecko Drives. May be overkill for your project, but they have worked well for several years (at least 10) https://www.geckodrive.com/product/g201 ... tep-drive/
The one referenced is gone through many updates since the ones I have used.

HTH
