3 phase stepper

I have 5 stepper motor slavaged from emproidery machine type KT42JM4, can I use them to make Pursa 3d printer with Ramps 1.4 and A4988 driver.
If no ,which shield and driver can I use for those motors.

Hi,

You can use it. Just two wires (those connected to the centre of the coil) are unused :


Please not, colour wires of your motor may be different.

... 3-phase steppers are wired different - they have 3 coils in a triangular arrangement and can't be driven with uni- or bipolar stepper drivers!

Why not do a Google search on KT42JM4?

3 phase Hybrid Stepping Motor (3.75 Degree/Step)

Going to need a 3-Phase Hybrid Stepping Motor Driver

Don't know if there is a 3-Phase Hybrid Stepping Motor Driver that plugs into RAMPS?

Standard Steppers are so cheap -- you will probably spend more on special 3-Phase Hybrid Stepping Motor Drivers

I already googled it and found that it is 3 phase hybrid and driving methods is bipolar, but couldn't find more info about driving it

[www.nidec-servo.com]

3 phase steppers are often used in "brushless" camera gimbals.
There are controllers with three L6234D drivers on it with an arduino 8 bit CPU.

Anyways, I don't see any advantage in using them, because they only offer 3.75°/step.

... I have some NEMA-23 sized 3-phase steppers from Berger-Lahr/Precitec with special controllers that are superior to common types

They are driven with 325V(!) DC to deliver 2Nm torque and can be configured per dip-switches to different fullstep-modes like 200 / 400 / 500 / 800 / 1000 fullsteps per turn - another option with 10x microstepping will change to 2000 / ... / 10000 steps per turn respectively.

This motors are used in high precision machines for laser-engraving and are assembled to Z-stages with 5:1 reducing gearing (50000 microsteps per turn) on 5mm spindles with 180mm travel and have 0.1 micron stepping resolution at 200kHz max. stepping speeds (max. 20mm/s).
