1. Joy-it Nema 23 - 02

The Nema 23 - 02 stepper motor from Joy-it is a powerful robotics module that is ideal for applications in automation, CNC technology, and robotics. With a holding torque of 1.2 Nm and a step angle of 1.8°, this motor offers precise control and high efficiency. The motor is designed to operate at a rated voltage of 3 V and a rated current of 2.5 A, making it a reliable choice for various projects. Its compact design, with dimensions of 56 x 56 x 56 mm, allows for easy integration into different systems. The Nema 23 - 02 is thus an excellent choice for anyone seeking a robust and precise motor solution.

2. Joy-it Nema 23 - 01

With the Nema 23 - 01, you get a robust, high-performance stepper motor. It features a dual shaft and has a holding torque of 3 Nm.

3. MakerBeam Standoffs or spacers

Electronics and manufacturer beams work well together. It is possible to slide the circuit board into the carriers. Unfortunately, this doesn't always work well. The boards are filled to the edge with electronics, and the carriers are conductive. Mounting a circuit board on PCB spacings or standoffs could be a simple solution.

Our package includes 4 standoffs, 4 nuts, 4 screws (6 mm), and 4 washers. They are all in size M3 to complement MakerBeam well. This size (M3) also means that this product is well suited for OpenBeam. You can use the same hex nut wrench to secure the standoffs, so no additional tools are required.
