Stepper motors can operate at different voltages, including 12V, 24V, and others, depending on the specific motor and its application.
The voltage rating (12V or 24V) of the stepper motor is typically specified by the manufacturer, so it’s important to check the motor's datasheet for its recommended operating voltage.
If you are using a stepper motor in a project, you'll also need to match it with an appropriate stepper driver that can handle the voltage and current requirements of the motor.
- 12V Stepper Motors: These are quite common for smaller, lower-power applications, like 3D printers, small robotics, or other DIY projects.
- 24V Stepper Motors: These are used for applications that need more torque, faster speeds, or higher power. The 24V motors are generally more efficient at higher speeds and provide more torque than their 12V counterparts.
