If you use a Mach3 USB board, this board usually provides a 0-10V PWM output. Using this output to control the frequency of the EV200 can be achieved through the following methods. The Mach3 USB board provides 0-10VPWM output, and the wiring method is as follows: Connect a capacitor of no less than 0.1U between AI1 and GND. If the speed response is not high, you can increase the capacitor appropriately and connect a 100K resistor to the input end of AI1. As shown below. (https://storageFew readersEV200 Debugging Steps

Definition of spindle motor: Spindle motor is also called high-speed motor, which refers to an AC motor with a rotation speed exceeding 10,000 rpm. It is mainly used in wood, aluminum, stone, hardware, glass, PVC and other industries. It has the advantages of fast rotation, small size, lightweight, low material consumption, low noise and low vibration. Points that should be paid attention to when purchasing a spindle motor: Sufficient output power, the spindle load properties of CNFew readersInstallation, Maintenance and Care of Worm Gearbox
Installation Precautions: The gearbox must be installed on a flat and solid base, and the foot bolts must be tight and shockproof. The connecting shaft extensions of the prime mover - gearbox - working machine must be accurately aligned with each other after assembly. The outer diameter tolerance of the shaft extension at the input end and output end of the gearbox is made according to h6. The inner holes of the matching couplings, pulleys, sprockets and other transmission partsFew readersTorque Relationship Between Coupling and Motor
The concept of coupling torque and motor torque Motor torque refers to the torque generated when the motor rotates. It describes the torque that the motor can output. It is one of the important parameters to measure the performance of the motor. The torque output by the motor is related to the provided voltage, current, power and other parameters, and also depends on the structure of the motor (generally, the larger the motor body size, the greater its torque), mechanical transmission deviceFew readersMovement Methods of Linear Stepper Motors and Linear Actuator
Linear stepper motors are one of the common methods for achieving precise linear positioning. It integrates the screw and stepper motor, and customers do not need to install a coupling when using it, which not only saves installation space, but also improves system assembly efficiency. According to different structures, linear stepper motors can be divided into three types: external linear stepper motor, non-captive linear stepper motor and captive linear stepper motor; the modular platform inFew readersSpecial Instructions for PG Series Gearbox Motors
Among the products sold by our company, some motors are equipped with PG series gearboxes, such as . Since the PG series gearboxes are somewhat different from the conventional gearboxes we sell separately, the PG series gearboxes cannot be replaced with conventional gearboxes. The difference between PG series gearbox and conventional gearbox: Different types of input shafts The PG series gearbox is different from the conventional gearbox. It is nFew readersPrecautions for Central and Parallel Connection of Switching Power Supply
Generally speaking, when choosing a power supply, it is recommended to choose a power supply with sufficient voltage, current, and power. However, in some special applications, for example, when the voltage or current required by the load is too large and the existing power supply cannot meet the requirements, it may be necessary to connect the power supplies in series or parallel to meet the load requirements. However, the series and parallel connection of power supplies is not simply a matterFew readersReverse Self-locking of Gearbox and Method to Prevent Reverse Rotation
Reverse self-locking of worm gear The reverse self-locking of the worm gear is essentially a phenomenon in which the component of the force exerted by the worm gear on the worm in the helical direction of the worm is insufficient to overcome the friction, making the worm unable to rotate. As shown in the figure above, when the lead angle is smaller than the friction angle, Fα is always smaller thanFew readersList of Commonly Used Motor Cables and Their Current Limiting
Below is the current limiting of motor cable UI1007 and UI3266 for your reference.Few readersHow to Use a Jumper Cap to Adjust the Upper Speed Limit of a Brushless Drive?
The brushless driver manual mentions that you can change the position of the jumper cap to change the upper speed limit of the driver. Models include: BLD-510S, BLD-510B, BLD-405S, BLD-515C. To adjust the jumpers, the housing must be removed. Adding a jumper cap to the board base is 1, not adding a jumper is 0. By default, a wire cap is in position 4. Please refer to the table for the specific speed settings. This speed setting is used to limit the maximum speed of the motor, and the motor speFew readersStraightness Description of Linear Motor Screw
The straightness of the screw refers to the degree of deviation caused by the screw during rotation. The higher the accuracy of straightness, the more stable and smooth the screw drive can be ensured. The accuracy of straightness is closely related to the length of the screw. The current standards commonly used in the industry are as follows: The straightness of the screw rod with a length of ≤100mm is: within 0.08mm at the shaft end and within 0.03mm at the root; The straightness of the scFew readersThread Backlash of Linear Motor and Countermeasures
First of all, a linear motor is essentially a combination of a stepper motor + screw nut. In a mechanism like a screw nut, when the screw threads mesh with the threads on the nut, they do not fit perfectly. At this time, there will be a slight gap between the meshed threads. This distance is what we call the backlash. Because the thread usually adopts a V-shaped structural design, it is precisely because of this design that there is a backlash. The backlash between the thread and the nut will afFew readersHow to Use the Photoelectric Sensor in the Linear Actuator?
The working principle of the photoelectric sensor is mainly based on the photoelectric effect, which converts changes in optical signals into changes in electrical signals to achieve measurement and control functions. These sensors generally consist of three main parts: light source, optical pathway, and optoelectronic components. Usually, photoelectric sensors are used as zero points. Our linear actuator products will come with at least one sensor. If you need to install more sensors, please coFew readersWhat is the Power of Stepper Motor?
When purchasing a stepper motor, we will find that there is no power item in the specifications of the stepper motor. When selecting, the selection is based on the torque at the corresponding speed instead of power. The reason why the power (W) is not marked is because the stepper motor does not have the concept of "rated speed". What we usually call the power (W) of AC motors and servo motors refers to the power (W) of the motor when running at "rated speed", that is, "rated power". Stepper mFew readersDifference Between Star and Delta Connection of Brushless Motor
The winding inside the brushless motor has three phase wires with a total of 6 positive and negative poles. When wiring, however, there are only three lead wires U, V and W, so the three phase wires of the motor must be connected together. There are two common connection methods: delta connection and star connection (Y-shaped). What are delta connection and star (Y-shaped) connection? Delta connection: Connect the three-phase windings of the motor to each other from beginning to end, anFew readersHow to Connect a Brushless Driver to An Arduino?
Please follow the steps below to connect the stepper driver to Arduino: Connect the SV and F/R of the driver to the Arduino’s digital port. For example, PIN2 and PIN9; Connect the GND of the driver to the GND of Arduino; Short-circuit the EN and GND of the driver; Download the program to Arduino and power the Arduino through the 5V power supply; The schematic below shows the basic connections for the Arduino, brushless driver, power supply and brushless motor.

When choosing stepper motors and stepper drivers, we usually recommend one stepper driver works with only one stepper motor. However, in actual applications, multiple motors may be required to work synchronously, so some people will consider using one driver to drive multiple stepper motors. But we do not recommend this use. First of all, theoretically speaking, one driver can drive multiple stepper motors. According to the actual application method, it can be divided into two situations: time-Few readers
