Is my stepper motor suitable for my CNC?
I have a stepper motor with following spac:
v 2.3, A 3, winding resistance 0.77 ohm, inductance 1.04mH, holding troq 834mN.m 118oz./n, detent troq 37mN.m 5.2oz./n, rotor troq 118g.cm2 1oz./n2, weight 650g
I want to use it in a cnc having 3 ft long sqr thread rod 16mm dia 4mm pitch and 4-5 kg x-axis assembly.
Please guide me, can this motor carry the load of x-axis assembly.
Thanks in advance.
Re: Is my stepper motor suitable for my CNC?
That motor is 5-10x larger than you need, and will be very slow.
Re: Is my stepper motor suitable for my CNC?
You wrote, this motor can carry 5-10 times heavier load than my requirements (4-5 kg). On the other hand, you said it is very slow.
I could not understand. Please tell me more in detail.

I don't really understand your comment either, Ger. If anything, this 118 oz-in motor sounds undersized for the machine he's contemplating. Why would it be slow? The inductance seems low enough for it to be fairly fast, with most drivers, but I wonder if it would have enough torque.

Sorry, I read that as 1180 oz, not 180. (chair)
As Andrew says, it may actually be on the small side.

Gear that motor down 2:1 or 3:1 and try it. Only replace it if it does not work.
