This hybrid stepping motor can be used as a unipolar or bipolar stepper motor and has a 1.8° step angle (200 steps/revolution). Each phase draws 1200 mA at 4 V, allowing for a holding torque of 3.17 kg-cm
This hybrid stepping motor can be used as a unipolar or bipolar
stepper motor and has a 1.8° step angle (200 steps/revolution).
Each phase draws 1200 mA at 4 V, allowing for a holding
torque of 3.17 kg-cm (44 oz-in). The motor has six
color-coded wires terminated with bare leads. Our 5mm universal
mounting hub can be used to mount objects on the stepper motor’s
5mm-diameter output shaft.

This stepper motor can be controlled by unipolar or bipolar stepper
motor drivers. When used with a unipolar stepper motor driver, all six
leads are used. When used with a bipolar stepper motor driver, the
center-tap yellow and white wires can be left disconnected (the
red-blue pair gives access to one coil and the black-green pair gives
access to the other coil). We recommend using this as a bipolar stepper
motor if you have a bipolar driver.
Dimensions
The following diagram shows the stepper motor dimensions in mm. The
dimension labeled “length” is 48 mm. The output shaft has a length
of 24 mm and a diameter of 5 mm.

Stepper Motor Applications
Stepper motors are generally used in a variety of applications where
precise position control is desirable and the cost or complexity of a
feedback control system is unwarranted. Here are a few applications
where stepper motors are often found:
- Printers
- CNC machines
- 3D printer/prototyping machines
- Laser cutters
- Pick and place machines
- Linear actuators
- Hard drives
