I don't think it is possible to convert a stepper. You need to replace both the motor and the driver with a matched set. In this kind of setup, all the "magic" lives inside the driver box. This is where the control loop is closed and it runs in specialized DSP hardware. The driver and motor have to be matched. You buy them as a set.
Yes, they are dramatically quieter and more "sitf" and they use about 1/2 the power and don't get as warm. Cost roughly $100 per axis You can actually downsize going from open toclosed loop steppers because with open loop you have to spec the motor oversized so that it has zero chance of losing steps. But the closed loop stepper does not ned this over specification. That said, replace what you have with same size motors and gain some performance On Fri, May 17, 2019 at 8:19 AM Davide <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, I would like to convert my Nema23-4NM stepper to Hybrid closed loop, > and I would be thankful if you could give me some hint, respect some aspect: > > is it true that they are going to be way less noisy, also if set at say > 1000 PPR? > > is it true that they are going to be more linear-like about torque/RPM? > > > Can I just buy the driver (like the HSS86) and use my stepper > (KL23H2100-50-4B) with an encoder on (AMT102)? or hybrid steppers are > really different from normal steppers? > > > Thank you, Davide. > > > > _______________________________________________ > Emc-users mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users > -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
