NEMA 8 Bipolar Stepper Motor: 200 Steps/Rev, 3.9V, 0.6 A/Phase

This small NEMA 8-size hybrid bipolar stepping motor has a 1.8° step angle (200 steps/revolution). Each phase draws 600 mA at 3.9 V, allowing for a holding torque of 180 g-cm (2.5 oz-in). With a weight of just 60g, this is one of the smallest SOYO stepper motors we carry. The motor has four colour-coded wires terminated with bare leads: black and green connect to one coil; red and blue connect to the other. These leads connect to the stepper motor through a removable JST-ZHR-5 connector. The motor can be controlled by a pair of suitable H-bridges (one for each coil), but we recommend using a bipolar stepper motor driver. Our 4 mm universal mounting hub can be used to mount objects on the stepper motor’s 4 mm-diameter output shaft. Note: This stepper motor is SOYO part number SY20STH30-0604A. Specifications

Dimensions The following diagram shows the stepper motor dimensions in mm. The dimension labelled “Length” is 30 mm. The output D-shaft has a length of 15 mm and a 4 mm diameter with a section that is flattened by 0.5 mm. This shaft works with our 4 mm universal mounting hub. Stepper Motor Applications Stepper motors are generally used in a variety of applications where precise position control is desirable and the cost or complexity of a feedback control system is unwarranted. Here are a few applications where stepper motors are often found:

* Printers * CNC machines * 3D printer/prototyping machines * Laser cutters * Pick and place machines * Linear actuators * Hard drives Resources
