Question re Shark Steeper Motors

Post by Djkaukl »

Does anyone know offhand what kind of stepper motors the Shark Pro has? I would like to know their rated amperage. Perhaps Tim could supply this information. Thanks.

Thanks, Tim. Follow up question: If you send 2.1 amps to this motor, will it burn out? Or is there some leeway in the amperage?

Or, stated another way, what if the amperage were 1.8? Do these motors require a precisely refined power source at exactly the rated amperage and will fail if fed anything above or below?
