Foreword:What does an NEMA stand for?

NEMA is The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) is an organization that forms the standards for the manufacturing of medical imaging equipment and electrical equipment. The purpose is to provide the safety, environment, and marketing enhancement of the industry.

You will also be curious about the name of the motor, why there is the name NEMA, then let me answer this question for you.

NEMA stands for National Electrical Manufacturers Association, which was founded in 1926 to set standards for companies that manufacture electrical products. NEMA enclosure ratings apply to virtually any type of electrical equipment or wiring installed outdoors or in industrial facilities. Originally, NEMA's goal was to ensure the quality of electrical equipment, components, and wiring. However, as technology continues to develop, so does the security of protecting it. Today, electrical components like controllers, vulnerable devices, and wiring need to be protected from the applications and environments in which they are used. The way to provide this protection is to house them in an enclosure or cabinet.

Introduction of nema 17 stepper motor

Nema stepper motor is a commonly used stepper motor, which refers to a type of motor whose external dimensions are 42mm x 42mm. It has high positioning accuracy, excellent control performance and stable and reliable operation characteristics, so it is widely used in motion control systems of various mechanical equipment.

The characteristic of the nema 17 stepper motor is that it has 4 phases, the phase difference of each phase is 90 degrees, and one step is the excitation of one phase. Each stepper motor can produce precise stepping motion, which makes it very suitable for Applications that require precise control of motion. In the control of mechanical equipment, nema 17 stepper motors can precisely control the speed and direction of motion of the motor by controlling the current.

1. Step angle

Nema 17 stepper motors usually include two step angles of 1.8 degrees and 0.9 degrees. The motor with a step angle of 1.8 degrees needs 200 step signals per revolution, while the motor with a step angle of 0.9 degrees needs 200 step signals per revolution. 400 step signals are required.


2. Rated voltage and current

The rated voltage and current of a Nema 17 stepper motor are usually determined by its working environment and load requirements. Generally, its rated voltage is 12V, 24V or 48V, and its rated current ranges from 1A to 5A.


3. Rated torque

The rated torque of the 42 stepper motor is also determined by its working environment and load requirements. Generally, the specific parameters of its rated torque can be found in our product link, or consult us for more detailed product data.


4. Drive method

42 Stepper motors usually adopt a two-phase or four-phase drive mode, in which the motor with the two-phase drive mode only needs two signal lines for control, while the motor with the four-phase drive mode requires four signal lines for control.


5. Temperature range

The operating temperature range of 42 stepper motors is usually -20°C~+50°C, but there are also some high-temperature or low-temperature models, which need to be selected according to the specific use environment. Of course, if your system has a cooling system, you can say otherwise. The specific situation is yours You can also contact us, we also provide product customization services.

Summary

NEMA 17 stepper motors are a type of electric motor that are widely used in various motion control applications, such as 3D printers, CNC machines, robotics, and automation systems. They are designed to provide high precision and accuracy, as well as maintain torque at low speeds, making them an ideal choice for applications that require precise and repeatable movements.

Application OF  Nema 17 Stepper Motor


Stepper motor a type of DC motors that move in increments or steps, they move at a known interval for each pulse of power. These pulses of power are provided by a motor driver and is referred to as a step. As each step moves a known distance it makes them handy devices for repeatable positioning. Stepper motors are used in the following fields:

1. PCBA

Mounter: Mounter is a device used for automatic welding of components in PCBA assembly, because the machine needs to control the precise position and speed of components, which is conducive to precise welding work. Because the stepper motor has the characteristics of high precision and high torque, the application of the stepper motor is adopted in this aspect, which makes the placement machine run at high speed and weld accurately.

2. DISPENSER

Cargo lane motor: The cargo lane motor is a motor used in vending machines to push goods out of the goods lane. It is necessary to precisely control the position and speed of the goods lane motor in order to push the goods to the corresponding outlet. The high precision and reliability of the stepper motor can ensure the precise positioning and high-speed operation of the cargo lane motor.


Pick-up motor: The pick-up motor is a motor used in vending machines to push goods out of the outlet. It is necessary to precisely control the position and speed of the pick-up motor in order to push the goods into the hands of buyers. The high-precision and high-torque characteristics of the stepper motor can ensure the high-speed operation of the picking motor and the precise release of products.


Coin acceptor motor: The coin acceptor motor is a motor used to receive coins in a vending machine. It is necessary to precisely control the position and speed of the coin acceptor motor in order to push the coins into the corresponding memory. The high precision and high reliability of the stepper motor can ensure the coin acceptor motor to receive and store coins accurately.
