Engineering Asked by Jack Campbell on July 20, 2021
I have the following setup:
Stepper motor: Bipolar, 200 Steps/Rev, 42×38mm, 2.8V, 1.7 A/Phase – https://www.pololu.com/product/2267
Diver: DRV8825, with current limiter VREF = 0.85v – https://www.pololu.com/product/2133
Power Supply: 12v 2a DC
When the steppers are hooked up to the power supply they make a very annoying high pitched noise while the steppers are idle. I am fine with a bit of noise while the stepper is moving, but would like them to be silent while stationary. I cannot figure out what is causing the noise. Here is what I have tried to reduce the idle noise:
These are not the only stepper motors that I have that have this noise issue, the only motors I have that do not have this noise issue are smaller 350mA neema17’s and I think that is just because it has a lower amperage.
I have not been able to find a way to fix this issue. Are my configurations incorrect? What power supply should I be using? Is there anything else I can do to fix this high pitched noise while the stepper is idle. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
I do not know if this will work for your particular combination of drive board and motor, but you could try shunting the motor terminals with a capacitor that filters off the squeal signal. However, I would try first the other remedies suggested in the comments section.
