User Guide for 4 axis TB6560 driver board Product Features: Toshiba TB6560AHQ chip - High power, maximum 3.5A drive current chipset ! 1-1/16 microstep setting - Higher accuracy and smoother operation than standard 1, 1/2 step! Adjustable 1.5A-3A drive current settings for each axis - 25%,50%,75%,100% of full current can be set for different stepper motors ...
16-24V DC power supply for Nema 23 stepper motors 24-36V DC power supply for Nema 34 stepper motors (High voltage will burn up the chips or stepper motors!!!) *Ampertage Selection: Output current of the power supply can be calculated by the following expressions: Output current = Rated current of your stepper motors * quantity + 2A (For example, if you want to drive 3 * 3A Nema 23 stepper motors, theoretically 24V 11A DC power supply is recommended, but higher power such as 24V 15A also will be good.
