This NEMA-17 motor has an integrated Planetary gearbox with a 26 103/121:1 ratio. It comes with the rear shaft exposed, so you can mount an encoder or shaft coupler.
At the output of the gearbox, the step angle is a little under 0.07°. When using the step angle in calculations, you should derive the exact step angle by dividing 1.8° by the gearbox reduction ratio.
At 1.7 Amps, this stepper motor can produce a maximum torque of 77 kg-cm. However, the gearbox is only rated for 30 kg-cm of continuous torque, and 80 kg-cm for brief overloads. Loading this gearbox stepper beyond the torque rating of the gearbox will shorten its useful life.
Note: Connecting the motor directly to a power supply will destroy the motor and void the warranty. It must be used with a constant current / chopper drive controller such as a Phidget stepper controller.
This motor must be controlled by a stepper motor controller. This diagram shows how to connect the motor wires to the controller to produce a clockwise rotation in the stepper motor when increasing position. To wire for counter-clockwise rotation when increasing position, reverse the red and blue wires.
Note: Make sure to unplug the power cord from the motor controller before switching wires around.

If you're using this motor to drive a rotary system that requires a lot of torque, you may be interested in pulleys and sprockets. By using a two pulleys or sprockets of different sizes, you can increase the gear ratio of the motor. Pulleys and sprockets can also be used to transmit the motor's rotation over a long distance.
