Hey guys,
Few questions, still confused about the power supply
Does anyone know what the specs are for a bridgeport stock stepper p/n 025805, Amp, Volt, inductance ?
Reason for inductance is that the manual for the gecko drives say if you know the inductance you can find the optimal voltage required for the motors.
What did you guys use to heatsink the geckodrives?
Timmy: just curious why did you pick that power supply with that voltage?
are you original motors above rated above 7Amps ?
Do you have these wired in series or parallel?
Are you using half windings?
I know that some are using the geckos and the stock steppers at 8+ Amps max, how are you guys making sure that the drives do not exceed 7 Amps so they do not destroy them. If you had the drive open at 7Amps wouldn't the steppers want to draw more than the rated amperage of the drives and burn them up or shut them down?
Just confused and anxious to try to get something going thanks again guys.
