Re: Z axis lose steps
Are you sure that 4000 is the right steps/mm? What threaded rod do you have driving the Z axis?
View ArticleRe: Do the heatsinks on a A4988 make you nervous?
As mentioned by gmckee and dc42 above, you can do without the heatsinks as in the A4988 and DRV8825 they are practically useless. On the other hand, active cooling (i.e. a small fan blowing cool air...

Just buy $1000 drivers that are sized to handle 100A without cooling! Or buy a system with cryo-coolers on it. People want cheap components with ridiculous specs 100s of A4988 driver out there running...

hello all guys i am new .this post is the first one. i am working on BLDC motors and try to make and design some. i need to know how is possible to make the max torque near max speed? ( by changing in...
View ArticleRe: Did anyone used linear hall sensors on BLDCs for position sensing?
Some BLDC motors have hall effect sensors built in and the signals are used by the driver chip to regulate speed, etc. I have a blower from a CPAP machine (from American Science and Surplus) that cost...

Re: BLDC design
If I understand correctly, torque is proportional to coil current, so theoretically you could get the desired torque at any speed as far as you can supply the desired current to the windings....
View ArticleRe: Did anyone used linear hall sensors on BLDCs for position sensing?
Since I asked the question first I have gone through several tests. Working together with a motor manufacturer some samples were created including an additional linear hall sensor to the usual three...

View ArticleRe: Do the heatsinks on a A4988 make you nervous?
The chip is designed to thermal sink thru the bottom of the chip. I hope the designers of the A4988 considered that. Users try to pull too much current thru these drivers. or diddle with them when...

Take 2 wires from the motor. Put them together and try to turn the motor manually. If you feel some force you got the first pair.
