Stepper Motor Contoller

Nov 17, 2004 2 Replies

I want to control a unipolar stepper motor with a phase current of 1 amp and a 0.37mNm holding torque, it also has 8 lead. I was wondering if anyone can suggest a controller to use. I will be also using labview.


More information needed:

Voltage rating?

Desired stepping speed?

Approximate winding inductance?

Number of phases?

With 8 leads, it could be a two-phase motor configurable for series or parallel unipolar, or four-phase split-winding bipolar.

LabView is a program. There must be a hardware interface to the motor itself.
