I am currently using the DRV8825 (https://www.oyostepper.es/goods-887-5-PiezasPaquete-DRV8825-M%C3%B3dulo-de-controlador-paso-a-paso-con-disipador-de-calor-para-impresora-3d-Reprap.html) in some prototype electronics that include sensitive analog imaging electronics. Imaging systems have noise levels in the 10s of μV range and my stepper motor drivers are injecting noise through a common PSU. Now, I did design the circuit correctly, using a good LDO to power the imaging sensor, using ferrite beads and plenty of decoupling, but there is some noise coupling there.

I do have some ideas on how to improve this from a PSU architecture perspective, but I wanted to explore the idea of ​​a linear stepper motor driver driven by a high frequency PWM generated by an FPGA that is filtered to a sine wave. This would drive a class AB amplifier stage or buffer for the stepper motor. The motor is a small NEMA 11, running at reasonable RPM and very light load, so it only consumes 1-2W.

Ideally, I'd like this circuit to be around $2 in 1k quantity. I think the best route might just be some discrete transistors in a class B setup. Does anyone have experience with this? Is this something a fool would do?

Thanks!

Hi,

I know this is not the right forum to discuss this, but I really hope to get some expert advice.

We have a conveyor application where positioning is not important. The required torque is 98.0 mN.m. The shaft should rotate at an average of 30 rpm. So a geared DC motor or a stepper motor (https://www.oyostepper.es/) can be used. But I would like to know more about the following points
1. Power consumption.
2. Reliability of the drive, i.e. lifespan.
3. Size and weight.
4. Driving cost.
5. Ease of control.

Hello, I am interested in using a bipolar stepper motor: https://www.oyostepper.es/category-13-b0-Motor-paso-a-paso-bipolar.html
Recently I need to build a new machine and someone suggested to use a 24V power supply. If I use a 12V power supply instead, will it be ok? If so, what difference will I see? (Lower torque? Lower speed?) Thanks in advance.
