Frequently Asked Questions

Is this motor compatible with any moving head?

This is an original replacement part designed for specific models that use the 17HS5002-12. However, its standard NEMA 17 format allows it to be adapted to many other equipment and projects. It is always recommended to verify the specifications of the motor being replaced before purchasing.

What does it mean for it to be a NEMA 17 motor?

NEMA 17 is a standard from the U.S. National Electrical Manufacturers Association that standardizes motor mounting dimensions. A NEMA 17 motor has a 1.7 x 1.7 inch (43.2 x 43.2 mm) faceplate, ensuring interchangeability between motors of the same standard.

What type of controller or "driver" do I need for this motor?

This stepper motor requires a driver to operate. A bipolar driver capable of supplying the rated current of 1.2 A per phase must be used. Popular drivers such as the A4988, DRV8825, or TMC2209 are compatible, although the final choice will depend on the supply voltage and the requirements of your application.

How many cables does it have and how are they connected?

This model is a bipolar motor and has 4 wires. The wires are typically grouped in two pairs, one for each coil (A+ A- and B+ B-). Consult your equipment or controller's manual to make the correct connections and ensure proper operation.
