| Bipolar stepper motor wiring diagram. |

This high-torque hybrid bipolar stepping motor has a 1.8° step angle (200 steps/revolution). Each phase draws 2.8 A at 3.2 V, allowing for a holding torque of 19 kg-cm (270 oz-in). The motor has four color-coded wires terminated with bare leads: black and green connect to one coil; red and blue connect to the other. It can be controlled by a pair of suitable H-bridges (one for each coil), but Pololu recommend using an appropriately powerful [bipolar stepper motor driver](https://core-electronics.com.au/breakout-boards-and-modules/motor-drivers-controllers/stepper-motor-drivers.html), such as Pololu's [High-Power Stepper Motor Driver 36v4](https://core-electronics.com.au/pololu-high-power-stepper-motor-driver-36v4.html), or Pololu's [Tic 36v4 High-Power Stepper Motor Controller](https://core-electronics.com.au/pololu-tic-36v4-usb-multi-interface-high-power-stepper-motor-controller.html). In particular, the Tic makes control easy because it supports six different interfaces (USB, TTL serial, I²C, RC, analog voltages, and quadrature encoder) and is configurable over USB with Pololu's free configuration utility.

**Stepper Motor Applications**

Stepper motors are generally used in a variety of applications where precise position control is desirable and the cost or complexity of a feedback control system is unwarranted. Here are a few applications where stepper motors are often found:

- Printers
- CNC machines
- 3D printer/prototyping machines (e.g. RepRap)
- Laser cutters
- Pick and place machines
- Linear actuators
- Hard drives
