Motor not fast enough

Hi folks,

I try to generate a wiggling motion using a stepper motor.
With following parameters:
+/- 15 degrees
2 Hz frequency
I don’t have much torque on the axis, around 30g/cm.

Currently I’m using this motor:

But it doesn’t reach the desired 15 degrees at 2 Hz, 0.8 Hz is about as much as I get out of it. I[font=Calibri, sans-serif][size=2]t doesn’t accelerate fast enough and if I’ve found increasing the acceleration just causes it to miss steps.[/size][/font]

Can you please recommend a good replacement? Ideally I’d like to run it with the same control board and ideally in an ideal world it should have the same axis diameter.

Cheers,

Stefferl

Hi Stefferl,

What do you use to power / control this motor ?
Since it’s geared down it will provide less acceleration.
