Thread: taking the back off a stepper

19-11-2010 #1
im on the cusp of wiring my steppers up, however, as they are it will be a bit of a pain to make a nice tidy job at the stepper end,,, is it possible to take the back off a stepper like this without ruining it (iv read that splitting them damages the magnets)
57BYGH76-401A
there are 4 screws at the nose running through the entire length of the stepper to the back... i get the uncofortable feeling the whole thing will come apart

I have seen some covers made from Acetal made to allow connection to a IP66 plug/socket don't have a link but they looked nice.
Sadly the guy is in the states, as for taking the motor apart wait till someone who knows answers.

Watch out for a stack of slim washers behind the bearing which will want to zoom into the magnets and gum the works up given half a chance.

take the back off, turn it over and bang it on the end of a table. make sure there's a load of swarf on the floor, and i can virtually guarantee it won't work again.

nice one phil... to late now, iv wired them up without taking the back off
i did take the back off my 4th axis stepper but the rotor touched the sides, it might be damaged now which would be a downer, it was my quietest motor
