What is 23H5601 NEMA 23 Stepper Motor?

The 23H5601 is a hybrid NEMA 23 stepper motor designed for high torque and precise positioning control. It operates by receiving electrical pulses from a driver, which are converted into mechanical rotation, making it perfect for applications that require accurate and repeatable movement.

How to use NEMA 23 Stepper Motor

As mentioned above this stepper motor draws high current so instead of controlling it directly using H-bridges,
use an appropriately powerful stepper motor driver. To know how to make this motor rotate we should look into the coil diagram below.

As you can see from above diagram this motor has four wires in different colors.
This motor can be made to rotate only if the coils are energized in a logical sequence.
This logical sequence can be programmed using a microcontroller or by designing a digital circuit.

Applications

The 23H5601 NEMA 23 Stepper Motor is widely used in CNC machines, robotics, and automation systems where high torque and precise movement are essential.
It can also be used in 3D printers, camera sliders, and other motion-based systems requiring consistent step performance.

FAQ

• Q1: What driver should I use with this motor?
  A1: A driver that supports up to 2.5A per phase, such as TB6600 or DM542, is ideal.
• Q2: Can I power it with 12V?
  A2: Yes, 12V is acceptable, though 24V often provides better torque response and efficiency.
• Q3: What’s the difference between NEMA 17 and NEMA 23 motors?
  A3: NEMA 23 motors are larger and more powerful, providing higher torque for heavier mechanical loads.
• Q4: Is this a bipolar or unipolar motor?
  A4: The 23H5601 is a bipolar hybrid stepper motor.
• Q5: Does it require a cooling fan?
  A5: Normally not, but continuous heavy operation may benefit from passive or active cooling.
