Hello I am a student and I need to carry out a project, but they gave me a stepper motor that indicates 42D2058-01 1.8 / step 2.8ohm on its label, please I need the technical characteristics (voltage, amperage and others), help and thanks
Features :
a. Step angle = 1.8deg/step
b. Number of leads = 6 cables (unipolar, can be used as bipolar)
Specifications :
a. Nominal Voltage = 5Volt DC (unipolar confg), 8.8Volt DC (bipolar confg)
b. Current = 1.4 A/ phase
c. Torque = 4.6 Kg.cm
d. Weight = 316gram

The other relevant information is the coil resistance - stepper motors don't always have a 'rated voltage'. Most steppers are driven according to the available supply and the current calculated accordingly.
From the full spec sheet you can determine the torque etc. but if that isn't available (and there's a 'need to know' requirement) you can take measurements and get them yourself.
For your stepper of 2.8 ohms, if you drive it at 12V you will get a maximum (stall) coil current of 12/2.8 = 4.2A.
For fast rotation a higher voltage is usually required.
Modern integrated stepper driver chips will have all the necessary coil current control circuitry built in and are far easier to use than implementing a driver in discrete (logic) circuitry.
You should be able to driver the stepper at any reasonable voltage - the amount of torque you get from it is another thing......
