Yes they will be fine.
Doesn't matter what make of drive the important details are the amps and Voltage. Provided the drive has amp setting which matches your motor spec and the voltage rating is 10% more than what your PSU is outputing then they will work fine.

Even then regards the amps it's not critical they match 100%. For instance if your motors are rated 4.2a and the nearist drive setting is 4a or 4.5 then you'll still be fine. In cases like this you would go to the nearest setting down. This applies to any make or model of drive.

The important part is the voltage. Never run the drives at there maximum rating and leave a safety margin of aprox 10%. This ensure you don't fry the drives from return energy the motors create when de-accelerating.
