Hi,

Has anyone ever used a CNC power supply similar to the one in the link below? Since this supply is rated at 12V 30A and it has three outputs (3 Vcc and 3 COM), is 30A for the total outputs or for each individual output? or are all the three terminals connected together?

Thanks in advance.

 

It says 350 Watt, so 30 Amp total.

 

The only thing is, many stepper drives don't want you to use switch mode power supplies. A lot of them say to use only a linear supply. Check the data sheet for your driver(s) before spending the money.

 

Hi shortbus. Can I power normal DC motors such as linear actuators with a switching power supply? Because that was my intention and not to power a stepper.

 

i've got a power supply which is pretty much identical, except without the fan.

the outputs are soldered together internally. So the power output is shared between the six terminals (3 positives, 3 grounds)

 

Thanks for the reply. Do you know if i can used a switching power supply to power a DC motor (linear actuator and worm geared DC motors) ??

 

OK, you through me off with the CNC mention. Thought you meant you were making a CNC, my bad. Probably no problem for a brushed motor.
