Re: Stepper motors getting HOT!!!


Stepper motors run hot, especially when stopped. Many stepper drivers reduce current to the motors about one second after the motor stops. The insulation on the stepper motors that I have is designed to handle a temperature rise of 80-degrees C over ambient. That's hot enough to blister.
