Technical Specifications
The product’s performance data and physical characteristics are detailed below:
Technical Parameter
Value / Description
NEMA Standard
Nema 34 (86 x 86 mm Flange) – The NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) standard specifies the motor’s mounting flange dimensions. Nema 34 indicates a square flange of 86×86 mm, which is standard for larger and more powerful motors.
Holding Torque
12.0 Nm (Newton-Metres) – Holding Torque is the maximum torque the shaft can exert when the motor is energized but not rotating. 12.0 Nm indicates exceptional holding power even when stationary, eliminating the need for a geared brake.
Body Length
156 mm (Extra Long Body) – The motor’s body length directly influences the volume of the internal windings and, consequently, the magnetic field and torque it can produce. 156 mm indicates a substantial coil volume necessary for this motor’s high torque capacity.
Shaft Diameter
14 mm Keyway – A keyed shaft uses a key (a small metal piece) and a corresponding groove (keyway) on the shaft and the connected component (like a pulley or gear) to prevent slippage. The 14 mm diameter provides sufficient strength for high torque transmission, and the keyway minimizes the risk of slippage between the shaft and the load.
Phase Current
Parallel: ~6.0A – 7.0A | Series: ~3.5A – Phase current is the amount of current flowing through each phase winding of the motor. Parallel and series connections alter the motor’s inductance, thereby changing its speed-torque characteristics. Higher current generally means higher torque output, and proper driver selection is crucial.
Step Angle
1.8 Degrees – The step angle is the minimum angle the motor can rotate in one full step. 1.8 degrees equates to 200 steps per revolution (360° / 1.8°), providing very high-precision positioning when combined with micro-stepping.
Rotor Inertia
4000 g.cm² (Very High) – Rotor Inertia is a measure of the motor shaft’s resistance to rotational changes. High inertia affects the motor’s acceleration and deceleration capabilities but also helps dampen vibrations for smoother motion. It reduces the risk of resonance, especially in heavy-load applications.
Recommended Driver
AC Drivers Only (DMA860H, MA860H or ND2278) – To achieve the full performance of this motor, professional step motor drivers with high voltage and current capacity, powered by AC input, are required. Traditional low-voltage or low-current drivers cannot overcome the motor’s inductance and will lead to torque loss.
Importance of Voltage
High Inductance and Torque Relationship – The large coils of the 12 Nm motor have high Inductance. As the motor reaches higher speeds, this inductance resists the flow of current in the coils, preventing the current from rising quickly and causing torque to drop. To minimize this effect and maintain torque at high speeds, using a high supply voltage that applies greater “pressure” to the coils is essential. With low voltage (e.g., 24V-48V DC), the motor can only exhibit its holding torque, not dynamic performance. The ideal operating voltage is around 80V AC – 110V AC or 110V DC.
Wiring Diagram
8-Wire Configuration (Parallel Connection Recommended) – 8-wire stepper motors allow for either series or parallel connection of the windings. Parallel connection reduces the motor’s inductance, providing better torque performance at higher speeds, which is ideal for CNC applications. Series connection offers higher torque at low speeds but limits maximum speed. The choice of connection type directly impacts the motor’s characteristics based on application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions about Step Motor Nema 34 12 Nm and Technical Details
For high-torque stepper motors like the 12 Nm model, high voltage is critical to prevent torque loss, especially at higher speeds. The ideal operating voltage is around 80V AC – 110V AC or 110V DC. Due to the motor’s high coil inductance, when powered by low voltage (24V-48V DC), it can only “hold” its position and cannot reach sufficient speed, losing up to 80% of its performance.
This “Monster Series” motor should absolutely not be used with standard drivers like TB6600 or DM556; these drivers cannot power the motor and will overheat or burn out. To unleash its full power, you must use professional AC-input drivers (operating with 220V AC or 110V AC) such as DMA860H, MA860H, or ND2278.
Overheating is typically caused by incorrect driver selection, low supply voltage, or improper current settings. Due to the motor’s high inductance, low-voltage and insufficient current-capacity drivers cannot properly power the motor, leading to overheating of both the driver and the motor. Using your motor with a high voltage of around 80V AC – 110V AC and the recommended AC drivers (DMA860H, MA860H) with the correct current setting (6.0A-7.0A for parallel connection) will resolve the overheating issue.
For applications like the X-Y axes of your CNC router that operate at high speeds and rapid movements, a parallel connection is mandatory. Parallel connection reduces the motor’s inductance, allowing voltage to fill the coils faster and minimizing torque loss at high speeds. This connection will require a current of 6.0A – 7.0A from the driver.
Yes, this is normal for high-inductance stepper motors and is usually caused by low supply voltage. As the motor starts rotating, the coil inductance resists electricity, preventing sufficient current from entering the coils quickly, which causes a sudden drop in torque. The only way to overcome this is to power the system with a high voltage, such as 80V AC – 110V AC, and connect the motor in parallel. The higher the voltage, the longer the torque remains constant.
The current setting depends on how you connect your motor. If you connect the motor in parallel (recommended for CNC Router X-Y axes), the driver will require a current of 6.0A – 7.0A. If you connect the motor in series (for low-speed, high-torque applications), it is expected to draw approximately 3.5A from the driver. You should set your driver according to these values.
Absolutely! This Nema 34 12 Nm “Monster Series” motor is the top tier of the “Heavy Duty” class. It is specifically designed for the most demanding industrial conditions, including marble, granite, and steel processing. Its immense holding torque and power are more than sufficient, especially for the gantry movements of machines processing tons of stone, even those operating underwater.
The 14mm keyed shaft is designed for high torque transfer under heavy loads. Unlike standard round shafts, a keyed shaft uses a “key” that fits into a groove on both the shaft and the connected component (pulley or coupling), ensuring that the component is fixed to the shaft. This eliminates slippage or rotation between the shaft and the connected component, even under high torque. When making connections, ensure that the coupling or pulley you use is compatible with a 14mm keyed shaft.
A very high rotor inertia, such as 4000 g.cm², means the motor has a high capacity to dampen vibrations during movement and stopping. This results in more stable and smoother motion, especially in applications requiring precise positioning of heavy loads. High inertia also helps the system be more resistant to sudden external load changes.
The nickname “Servo Killer” comes from its ability to hold tons of load in place without needing a geared brake, thanks to the immense holding torque it offers, especially at low speeds. While servo motors have advantages like high-speed precision and fast response times, this Nema 34 12 Nm stepper motor offers a powerful and economical alternative to servo motors, particularly in low-speed, high-torque applications where cost is a significant factor. It can provide performance close to servo motors in many heavy-duty applications.
