Advise on motor requirements

I recently purchased 2 of these stepper motors

ROB-09238 Stepper Motors

And I find I need a motor with a lot more power/torque with the same specification to suit my driver, I am not sure what motor to order, can someone please advise me on what to order.

The motors are used to power a Star tracker with a pay load of approximately 5 kilograms which is about 11 pounds.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Alan.

I’m not sure what you’re using for a driver, but if your driver can handle a motor that needs up to 2A per phase, our ROB-13656 motor has almost 4 times more torque than the motors you’re using now. With the right gear reduction those might work for you.

Appreciate that Chris thank you.
