    Hello

    We are doing a school project and are in the process of finding motors.
    We are thinking of making a 2dof sim rig.

    One of the motor choices is this motor.
    Stepperonline iSV57T-180S
    I understand that currently as the motor in only 0,6Nm it wont be enough torque to run a 2 dof setup and would need a reductor. As it has Nema 23 integrated, it would be easy to program?
    As I undestand after digging around the forum, then ca 150-250w motor, 15-25Nm after reductor and 60-150rpm after reductor would be the rule of thumb for 2dof?

    Any feedback would be highly appreciated.
