NEMA17: Stepper Motor, Applications, Features

NEMA 17 is a hybrid stepping motor with a step angle of 1.8° (200 steps per revolution). At 4 V, each phase draws 1.2 A, resulting in a holding torque of 3.2 kg-cm. Stepper motors with NEMA 17 ratings are commonly found in printers, CNC machines, and laser cutters.

NEMA17 Stepper Motors are widely used in CNC machines, hard drives, and linear actuators. The motor has six lead wires and a rated voltage of twelve volts. It can be run at a lower voltage, but the torque will be reduced. These motors have a step angle of 1.8 deg., which means that it has 200 steps each revolution and each step covers a 1.8°, resulting in a high level of control.

CUI Devices is an electronic components manufacturer specializing in an ever-expanding range of product technologies. Formerly part of CUI Inc, you can trace our roots back to 1989 just outside of Portland, Oregon. In September of 2019, a group of senior managers deeply involved in the historical growth of CUI Inc—and with over 15 years of average tenure—spun-off part of the business. Thus, CUI Devices was born, offering a wide range of Interconnect, Audio, Thermal Management, Motion, and Sensor solutions.
