Lichuan DC Open Loop Stepper Motor Drivers Kit EtherCAT 1.6N.m 2 Phase Nema24 DC24V～50V 4.0A
The Lichuan DC Open Loop Stepper Motor Drivers Kit is an EtherCAT-based motion control solution combining a high-torque 2-phase NEMA24 stepper motor with a digital stepper motor driver.
Designed for industrial automation, CNC machinery, positioning equipment and multi-axis motion applications, this DC Open Loop Stepper Motor Drivers Kit offers multiple holding torque options from 1.6 N·m to 4.0 N·m, with a DC24V–50V power supply range and 4.0A drive current configuration.
By combining NEMA24 mechanical performance with EtherCAT network communication, the system is designed to provide a practical, scalable and cost-effective solution for machine builders, OEM manufacturers, automation integrators and professional users.
The Lichuan DC Open Loop Stepper Motor Drivers Kit is developed for applications requiring reliable incremental motion, high holding torque and EtherCAT-based multi-axis communication.
Compared with conventional pulse-only stepper systems, an EtherCAT architecture can simplify multi-axis system integration and provide centralized communication between the motion controller and individual drives.
The NEMA24 stepper motor platform offers higher torque capacity than many compact NEMA17 or NEMA23 systems, making this kit suitable for applications where stronger mechanical output is required without moving immediately to a servo system.
The product is available in several torque configurations:
1.6 N·m / 2.1 N·m / 2.5 N·m / 3.0 N·m / 3.5 N·m / 4.0 N·m

The DC Open Loop Stepper Motor Drivers Kit is designed for EtherCAT-based motion-control systems.
EtherCAT communication allows multiple drives to be connected within the same industrial network, making the solution suitable for coordinated multi-axis applications.
For machine builders and automation engineers, this architecture can simplify control-system design compared with large numbers of individual point-to-point motion signal connections.
The NEMA24 motor provides a larger mechanical platform for applications requiring higher torque than smaller stepper motor sizes.
With available holding torque up to 4.0 N·m, the system is suitable for medium- to higher-load positioning applications.
The DC Open Loop Stepper Motor Drivers Kit is available in six torque levels:
| Torque | Typical Application Direction |
|---|---|
| 1.6 N·m | Light to medium positioning |
| 2.1 N·m | General automation |
| 2.5 N·m | Medium-load machinery |
| 3.0 N·m | CNC and industrial positioning |
| 3.5 N·m | Higher-load motion applications |
| 4.0 N·m | High-torque NEMA24 applications |
Actual motor selection should consider speed, acceleration, load inertia, transmission ratio, screw lead and duty cycle rather than holding torque alone.
The kit is designed for a DC24V–50V power supply architecture, providing flexibility for different industrial control-panel power configurations.
The 4.0A driver configuration is designed to provide the current required by the corresponding high-torque NEMA24 stepper motor configuration.
Current settings should always be matched to the selected motor specification.
The system operates as an open-loop stepper solution without encoder feedback for continuous position correction.
This makes the system simpler and more economical than encoder-based solutions for applications that do not require closed-loop error correction.
EtherCAT communication makes the system suitable for machine architectures involving multiple synchronized motion axes.
Typical applications include XYZ positioning systems, CNC equipment, automated assembly machinery and industrial linear-motion equipment.

The DC Open Loop Stepper Motor Drivers Kit converts digital motion commands into controlled motor rotation through a sequence of electrical phase currents.
The basic control chain is:
EtherCAT Motion Command → Stepper Driver → Phase Current Control → NEMA24 Motor → Mechanical Motion
The EtherCAT controller sends the required motion information to the driver.
The digital driver processes the command and controls the current supplied to the two motor phases.
The resulting electromagnetic field causes the stepper motor rotor to move in controlled increments.
The motor then transfers the rotary motion to the machine through a lead screw, ball screw, belt drive, rack-and-pinion mechanism or other mechanical transmission.
A PLC, industrial PC or EtherCAT motion controller generates the required position, speed or motion command.
The motion command is transmitted through the EtherCAT network to the designated stepper driver.
The driver processes the command and controls the motor phase current according to its configured operating parameters.
The two-phase NEMA24 motor converts electrical energy into incremental rotary motion.
The motor shaft drives the connected mechanical transmission and generates linear or rotary machine movement.
This open-loop architecture is particularly appropriate for applications where high holding torque, repeatability and economical motion control are more important than encoder-based feedback.
Choosing the correct DC Open Loop Stepper Motor Drivers Kit should begin with the actual mechanical load rather than the motor's maximum torque value.
| Required Torque Range | Suggested Configuration |
|---|---|
| Up to 1.6 N·m | 1.6 N·m |
| Around 2.0 N·m | 2.1 N·m |
| Around 2.5 N·m | 2.5 N·m |
| Around 3.0 N·m | 3.0 N·m |
| Around 3.5 N·m | 3.5 N·m |
| Up to 4.0 N·m | 4.0 N·m |
For engineering selection, always account for acceleration, target speed, transmission efficiency, load inertia and safety margin.

A reliable DC Open Loop Stepper Motor Drivers Kit depends on stable motor manufacturing, electronic assembly and final testing.
The motor production process typically includes:
The digital driver production process typically includes:
The motor-driver combination is inspected against the relevant product specifications before shipment.
Key inspection areas may include electrical parameters, communication stability, mechanical quality and operating performance.
Before installation, confirm:
Install the NEMA24 motor on a rigid and accurately aligned mounting surface.
Avoid excessive shaft loads or mechanical misalignment.
Connect the DC power supply according to the driver wiring diagram.
Verify voltage and polarity before power-up.
Connect the two motor phases according to the manufacturer's wiring definition.
Connect the EtherCAT communication network between the controller and driver.
Set the required communication and motion parameters according to the controller and driver documentation.
Run the motor at low speed first.
Check:
After confirming stable operation, gradually increase the required speed and acceleration.
Use only the recommended DC24V–50V operating range for the applicable product configuration.
Do not exceed the rated current of the selected NEMA24 motor.
Always check motor phase wiring and power polarity before energizing the system.
Maintain adequate ventilation and heat dissipation around the driver.
Do not exceed the motor's effective torque capability at the required operating speed.
An open-loop system does not continuously verify actual rotor position through encoder feedback. Applications with high external disturbance, extreme acceleration or strict position-error monitoring may require a closed-loop or servo solution.
