Welcome to Nerd IE Lab, where we nerd out on cool experiments and tests.
Today, we have a challenge for our NEMA 17 stepper motor: can it move a
10 kg bag with its 12 N.cm torque? Let’s find out in this video!
In this presentation, we learned about:
The history of stepper motors and how they work.
How to calculate the required torque for moving a mass with a stepper motor and a lead screw.
How to adjust the speed and acceleration to match the motor torque.
