Another photo from November that shows the white wire is already discoloured a bit. Last spring I started on the CNC conversion and I have a photo from mid April that shows pristine wires. Saved cranking up/down with a handle that didn't fit well. The drive was in use for most of that time with the step/dir from an extra ELS I had around. The invoice for this drive is dated 07JUN2011. Garberville, CA 95542 Postal service only. I am surprised that Gecko has not changed to screw terminals or some other more robust connector. Have had fewer problems but still occasional problems with the signal connections and have been meaning to solder these as well. I also use a poly phenyl either based contact lube on the signal connections which I do not solder. I soldered wires directly to the pins for the power supply and motor connections and covered with heat shrink tubing. It was running the Knee with a 1200 oz-in motor and 60VDC power supply.

Harness so that vibration and stress have minimal effect My suggestion is to engage/disengage the connector asįew times as possible and to mount the drive and wiring When the connection is intermittent and this quickly Result is an action very similar to a plasma cutter Unfortunately the motor winding circuit isĪn inductive load and the output of modern stepper motorĭrivers is a switched mode voltage waveform.
