Nema 17 - gearbox 1:5 - is this right for DUET 2 wifi?
-
Hi there,
I've got this Nema 17 with gearbox 1:5 :
Manufacturer Part Number: 17HS24-2104S-PG5
Motor Type: Bipolar Stepper
Step Angle: 0.35 deg
Holding Torque without Gearbox: 65Ncm(92.05oz.in)
Rated Current/phase: 2.1A
Phase Resistance: 1.6ohms
Voltage: 3.36V
Inductance: 3.0mH ± 20%(1KHz)I'm trying to use it with my duet 2 wifi RRF 2.05.
I'm getting really weird driver faults and sometimes short-grounds.. I've tried several main boards and expansion boards. I am not sure that's it the motors' fault but that my main suspect at the moment..
is that the case?

Are you using this motor for axes, extruder, or both?
Short-to-ground error reports normally mean that you really do have a short to ground, or a short across one of the moor phases, or a short between phases, or (most likely) that the phase wires haven't been paired correctly. So I suggest that you unplug the motor from your Duet; then use a multimeter to measure the resistance between pairs of pins on that 4-pin connector. It should read 1.6 ohms between pins 1 and 2, 1.6 ohms between pins 3 and 4, infinity between other pairs of pins, and infinity between any pin and the motor casing.

it seems fine.
just a thought, the step angle of the motor is 0.35deg.
can that affect other factors than my steps per mm?thanks

@CJ-BRAVO You have a planetary gearbox with ratio of 5+2/11:1. The gear ratio and step angle are irrational, so there are no settings that can yield a whole number of steps for any specific travel distance. The error for any given setting will depend on the value you use (0.35, 0.347, 0.3474, 0.347368, etc...) and the way that math is handled in the controller.

this is the mentioned motor:
your thoughts?

You're ultimately going to use the gear ratio to set steps per mm. 200 steps/rev x 5.18.. = 1036.36... steps/rev at the output. I can't tell from your steps/mm settings what you're using this motor for, but it doesn't matter. The irrationality of the gear ratio will probably not lead to any significant error.

If you're using both of them for the two Z steppers, I would change the construction to use only one stepper and connect the two spindles (or belt system) with a belt, because the gear has a backlash error of 1 degree each, wich means for a e.g. 20 teeth 40mm/360 = 0.11 mm error on every side, so it will be difficult to level the two Z axes.
