Product Description
The 42HS34-0406 NEMA 17 Stepper Motor is a specialized "Round Type" variant of the standard NEMA 17 frame. While most NEMA 17 motors are square-bodied, this cylindrical design is engineered for applications where radial space is a constraint or where the motor needs to fit into circular bores and housings. Despite its unique shape, it maintains the standard NEMA 17 mounting hole pattern. At Robogears, we recommend this motor for lightweight precision tasks, such as camera sliders, laboratory instruments, and small-scale CNC prototypes in your Pimpri workshop. With a 1.8° step angle, it provides the granular control needed for high-accuracy positioning without the bulk of high-torque motors.
Detailed Key Features
Compact Round Body: The cylindrical profile allows for easier integration into tube-based structures and sleek robotic arm designs.
1.8° High-Resolution Steps: Provides 200 discrete steps per revolution, which can be further refined using microstepping drivers for ultra-smooth motion.
Low Current Draw: Rated at 0.4A, this motor runs cool and is compatible with entry-level stepper drivers like the L298N or A4988.
Precision D-Shaft: Features a 5mm diameter shaft with a flat "D" cut to prevent pulley or gear slippage during high-acceleration movements.
NEMA 17 Mounting Standard: Retains the standard $31\text{mm}$ hole-to-hole spacing, ensuring it fits into existing NEMA 17 brackets and mounts.
