Open loop stepper - 7i96 - following error
The new servo runs on 36V power, so i had to buy another PSU. At the moment i have 1 12v PSU for the extruder, inductive sensors and other stuff, 1 24v one for the stepper motors and 1 36v for the servos.
I bought my steppers from an insertion which described them as "24V 3A stepper motors". The code on the motors is: 23HS8430.
Looking around online i can't find a voltage rating for them, and i see a lot of topics where people choose the psus for their motors based on torque requirement without speaking of a "voltage rating".
The question is: do you think that i could get reed of the 24v psu and run the steppers on 36v too? The drivers are rated for 42V.
I'm asking this because i'm thinking about keeping the steppers on the Z axis which is only responsible of layer changes (and the stiffness of the steppers is useful to prevent the z axis from moving when the power is removed).

Normally yes, but since those are cheap drives with Toshiba TBXXn109 chips i would not push them over 27 or 28V.Muz94 wrote: The question is: do you think that i could get reed of the 24v psu and run the steppers on 36v too? The drivers are rated for 42V.

by the operating voltage. Usually the limit of operating voltage is the drives,
not the motors so check the maximum suggested voltage of you drives and make
sure its higher than 36V.

I'm using TB6600 drives (or some chinese copy of them). Do you think they might not survive?
On paper they should handle 42V, but i guess i might get a bit too close to the limit.PCW wrote: Step motors are current operated devices, Their maximum speed is determined

likely pretty easy to generate when decelerating especially with
switching supplies and their tiny output capacitors
