NEMA 42-60 Stepper Motor – 0.74Nm 84mm

Stepper Motors are ingenious electromechanical devices that are quite distinct from standard DC Motors and Servo Motors, as they specialise in rotational torque, holding torque and linear motion along guiderails or defined paths. The incredibly high level of precision in rotation and power results in consistent accuracy that you can not only rely on, but even use as tools of measurement if necessary due to the high precision, specific step angles, and predefined steps per full revolution. If you are building your own CNC machine, 3D Printer or other DIY electromechanical equipment, be sure the stepper motor you choose from our Range of quality Stepper Motors has the necessary torque, speed, step resolutions and pulse count you need to enjoy the best functionality for your project.

The NEMA 42-60 Stepper Motor is the ideal kick of power you’d need for DIY Mechanical Projects. With a holding torque of 0.74Nm and a manageable size of 48mm in length, the NEMA 42-60 Stepper motor has many great applications. The high level of positional accuracy and the tight, non-accumulative step accuracy tolerance with a 1.8° step angle allows it to be used for highly precise motion and rotation, while the relatively high 7.54kg-cm torque rating means it won’t struggle with reasonably heavy loads. Additionally, you can easily cater linear motion for camera rails and dollies using the NEMA 42-60 Stepper Motor.  

Of course, it goes without saying that a broken stepper can immediately put a 3D Printer out of operation, while a faulty or worn stepper can easily cause artefacts or other faults in designs as they miss steps. That’s why we stock as many options for an affordable spare as possible for you to quickly fix up any issues and get back to 3D Printing what you love. To this end, the NEMA 42-60 Stepper Motor is the ideal choice for relatively large 3D Printer models such as Creality CR-10 S4/5 and Ender-6 that require a powerful stepper motor on the Y-Axis. For greater insurance this stepper motor is compatible with your 3D Printer, be sure to check the torque, step resolutions and pulse count matches your printer’s requirements. Whether you need a 3D Printer spare, or to build your own interesting Maker project, the NEMA 42-60 Stepper Motor is a great choice when it comes to optimising speed and power.
