Stepper motor is a brushless DC electric motor that divides a full rotation into a number of equal steps The motor’s position can then be commanded to move and hold at one of these steps.

Do you repair stepper drives

Hi
I would like to run 4 stepper motors of 6pole each with the ability to control steps individually. And ability to synchronise all or reduce speed of any individual .
Please recommend drivers and controller to suit.
Note: controller should be programmable with sufficient options to upgrade and remote control.

Thank you

David

Note that you won’t operate them as ‘6pole each’. Before you connect them to the driver you will configure them as either unipolar or bi-polar, depending on your application requirements.

That comes automatically with the controller - its job is to issue the command that steps the stepper motor.

The controller will issue step instructions according to the program it is running. The controller can only issue step instructions sequentially, but for any practical purpose that will be effectively simultaneously. If the motors must be synchronized it is the responsibility of the software to ensure that the same stepping information is issued to each motor at the right time.

The driver will largely depend on the current requirement of the motors. If you post a link to the specs for the motors you are using someone can point out the relevant technical details. Here is an example of a 4-motor driver designed for a specific purpose, but is actually very usable for a variety of different applications:

The controllers depend on the functionality that you need and the software you will be using. Some drivers (as above) are designed for a specific MCU, others are generic, and others already have the MCU integrated as one unit. Almost any MCU can be combined with a driver, and there are plenty available that have WiFi or Bluetooth capability for wireless remote control, or a UART interface for wired remote control. Your decision would likely be determined by you experience with a particular MCU family.
