step motor question

Sep 01, 2005 2 Replies

Hello Dany,

If the driver is able to drive both of them, why not? To the driver it will just look like a bigger motor.

However, you risk the two running "out of step". If one misses a step and the other one doesn't they won't be mechanically in sync anymore in case that's what you wanted.

Regards, Joerg

I want to operate 2 step motors together (the same steps) can i connect them in prallel to the same driver outputs?? (the driver can "give" the current to both motors)
