    Unipolar chopper design

    Hi all, I previously posted a message here with regards to this problem but have been experimenting since and come up with some new results... I have designed and built a Unipolar chopper drive for an a lead Bifilar wound stepper (4Amp 0.85Ohm 1mH approx). I have had good success running smaller...

    Stepper Induction

    Hi all, I have recently built a drive board for a stepper motor. This is a unipolar drive and simply has 4 mosfets, 4 fast recovery diodes and 4 1 ohm 3watt resistors (2 in parallel = 0.5 ohm sense resistors). All was going well until I encountered a problem using a different motor. The...

    Inductive Switching Problem

    Hi all, I have undertaken a project to build a 4 axis router type machine. I am attempting to build the stepper motor cicuits myself. I had already built one using the L297 + L298 chips from ST Semi but found that something was going wrong with the drive chip and it kept on blowing. I have now...

    Moving equipment to different country

    I have a job comming up that involves estimating the problems involved with moving different types of automated equipment from one country to another. I need advice on what types of things to consider when running a machine on a slightly lower voltage and higher frequency (from 240v 50Hz UK to...
