How to figure out nema23 motor

Post by subisquared »

I got a wrightcnc table. Nobody can get ahold of them for support, so I’m on my own. It’s using nema23 motors. They take all the labels off the motors so I have no clue what they are. I’d like to have one on the shelf for a spare.
Where could I look to figure that out? Mach3? Motor driver boards?

They are dual shaft, 1/4” or 6.35mm. Nema23. Grey base and top, with black center section. 4.360” body.

How do I figure out what Oz they are?

It's going to be a guess imo

These are 8mm shaft size.... But if you flip through the images there are 3x 112mm long stepper motors shown, so one of them may be 1/4"

Have a look at the drives and see if you can tell what the amperage is set at for the stepper motor drives

20v-50Vdc on the drivers. There’s no branding or labels on them either.

If you can move the cables out of the way and photo the amperage table I can tell you what the current + range ofthe stepper drives and their likley part number

The external e-stop died on me today. So it’s now directly hot wires.
