Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean for it to be a NEMA 23 motor?
NEMA 23 is a standard from the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) that defines the dimensions of the motor's mounting faceplate (in this case, 2.3 x 2.3 inches or 56.4 x 56.4 mm). This ensures interchangeability between motors from different manufacturers that meet the same standard.

Do I need a specific driver for this motor?
Yes, like all stepper motors, the 23HS0020 requires a controller or driver to manage the sequence of electrical pulses to make it rotate. It is important to choose a driver that can supply the per-phase current required by the motor to achieve optimal torque and performance.

Is it a bipolar or unipolar motor?
The MOONS' 23HS0020 is a bipolar motor. This means it has two coils and typically four wires. Bipolar motors offer higher torque for their size compared to unipolar motors.

Can I use this motor to replace one from another brand in my moving head?
Yes, provided the motor being replaced is also a NEMA 23 and has similar electrical (current, resistance per phase) and torque specifications. Since it's used by reputable brands like Elation, ADJ, and Ayrton, it's very likely compatible with many models on the market.
