DMD870 Digital Stepper Drive
Outline Dimensions
Elimination of Heat
Drive's reliable working temperature (heat sink) should be <70 ° C (158 °F ), and
motor working temperature (surface) should be <80°C (176°F);
It is recommended to use automatic idle-current mode, namely current
automatically reduce to 60% when motor stops, so as to reduce driver heating
and motor heating;
The drive must be mounted vertically to maximise heat sink area as shown in the
following picture. Use forced cooling method to cool the system if necessary
