CNC milling machine

  • Good evening,

    I am building a CNC milling machine that I plan to purchase on the steppermotor site and I would like advice on choosing the stepper motors I plan to use.

    The control card will be a 4 axis hobbycnc and the control software can be mach3.

    I am attaching to this message 2 engine technical sheets, which in my opinion is a good compromise for my future creations.


    Class 1 stepper motor model PAP-12


    -Voltage: 3V

    - Dimensions: B = NEMA 23 motors standardized to NEMA chassis dimensions

    - Dimensions: 56.4 x 56.4 x length mm

    - Fixed distance: 47.14 x 47.40 mm

    - Shaft diameter x length: 6.35 x 21 mm

    - Type: Bipolar/Monopolar

    - Number of threads: 6 threads


    - Angle/step: 1.8°

    - Number of steps/turn: 200

    - Length: 76 mm

    - Locking torque: 13kg.cm

    - Current per phase: 3 A

    - Resistance: 1.0 ohm

    - Inductance: 2.1mH

    - Weight: 0.65kg


    Second engine:

    PAP-14 stepper motor model


    - Voltage: 3.6 V

    - Dimensions: B = NEMA 23 motors standardized to NEMA chassis dimensions

    - Dimensions: 56.4 x 56.4 x length mm

    - Fixed distance: 47.14 x 47.40 mm

    - Shaft diameter x length: 6.35 x 21 mm

    - Type: Bipolar/Monopolar

    - Number of threads: 6 threads


    - Angle/step: 1.8°

    - Number of steps/turn: 200

    - Length: 82 mm

    - Locking torque: 21kg.cm

    - Current per phase: 3.0 A

    - Resistance: 1.2 ohm

    - Inductance: 2.4 mH

    - Weight: 1.30kg


    Can you tell me if this choice is wise for you :?:
