NEMA-17 Bipolar 48mm Stepper

ID: 3303_0

This affordable bipolar stepper has a 1.8° step angle and 4.24 kg·cm of torque at low speeds.

Discontinued

The nearest replacement for this motor is the 3324_0, the same motor with a rear shaft and encoder mounting holes.

This motor is a larger NEMA-17 motor that produces a whopping 4800g-cm of holding torque. The motor is also very efficient in converting current into torque and velocity.

Connection

This motor must be controlled by a constant current or chopper drive controller. You can find a list of suitable controllers on the Connection & Compatibility tab. There you will also find compatible attachments such as encoders, mounting hardware, and transmission hardware.

Warning

Connecting the motor directly to a power supply will destroy the motor and void the warranty. If you want to check your motor make sure it is connected to a constant current / chopper drive controller.

Motor Controllers

This motor must be controlled by a stepper motor controller. This diagram shows how to connect the motor wires to the controller to produce a clockwise rotation in the stepper motor when increasing position. To wire for counter-clockwise rotation when increasing position, reverse the red and blue wires.

Note: Make sure to unplug the power cord from the motor controller before switching wires around.

The following stepper controllers can be used to drive this motor:

Pulleys and Sprockets

If you're using this motor to drive a rotary system that requires a lot of torque, you may be interested in pulleys and sprockets. By using a two pulleys or sprockets of different sizes, you can increase the gear ratio of the motor. Pulleys and sprockets can also be used to transmit the motor's rotation over a long distance. For more guidance on building a transmission system, visit our Rotary Motion Guide. Here is a list of our 5mm bore pulleys and sprockets:
