FAQs

What is the holding torque of a NEMA 24 stepper motor?

NEMA 24 torque depends on body length. Our 60BYG250 range runs from about 2.0 N·m on the 56mm body up to 4.0 N·m on the 99mm body, all at a 1.8° step angle. The longer the body, the more holding torque in the same 60mm footprint.

What are the dimensions and specs of a NEMA 24 stepper motor?

A NEMA 24 stepper motor has a 60mm × 60mm faceplate. Body length runs 56mm to 99mm across our models, with an 8mm or 10mm standard shaft. Full specs are in the table and the downloadable datasheet.

Is there a 4 N·m NEMA 24 stepper motor?

Yes. The 60BYG250-99 (99mm body) delivers about 4.0 N·m — so a 4 N·m NEMA 24 is the long-body model. It bridges the gap between a top-end NEMA 23 (around 3 N·m) and a NEMA 34, in a frame only slightly larger than NEMA 23.

What is the difference between NEMA 23 and NEMA 24?

NEMA 24 is 60mm; NEMA 23 is 57mm. The 3mm difference looks small, but NEMA 24 carries a larger rotor, so it delivers more torque — up to about 4 N·m versus around 3 N·m for NEMA 23. Choose NEMA 24 when you need a bit more torque than a NEMA 23 gives but want to stay well under NEMA 34's size and weight.

What driver and voltage do I need for a NEMA 24?

A NEMA 24 runs on any standard 2-phase stepper driver. Rated current is around 3.0–4.0 A/phase, so a high-current microstepping driver is needed. Recommended supply is 24–48VDC — higher voltage holds torque at speed. We can supply a matched driver sized and set for the motor.

Can you customize the shaft, winding, and lead wires?

Yes. Shaft diameter and length, D-cut or flat shaft, dual-shaft output, lead length and connector, and winding voltage/current are all made to your drawing. A rear-shaft encoder and a planetary or worm gearbox are also available.

Should I choose NEMA 24 or NEMA 34?

If your load fits within about 4 N·m and the 60mm footprint works, NEMA 24 is right. If you need substantially more torque, step up to NEMA 34 (86mm). The comparison table below lays out the difference.

NEMA 24 Stepper Motor: Extra Torque in a 60mm Frame

The NEMA 24 stepper motor sits between the popular NEMA 23 and the heavy NEMA 34. With a 60mm × 60mm faceplate — only 3mm larger than NEMA 23 — it carries a bigger rotor and delivers more torque, which makes it a smart pick when a NEMA 23 is just short on power but a NEMA 34 would be oversized. A 2-phase NEMA 24 hybrid stepper motor delivers holding torque from about 2.0 N·m up to 4.0 N·m depending on body length, at a 1.8° step angle. The NEMA 24 size is fixed at a 60mm faceplate, with body length the main variable that sets torque.

Typical Applications

NEMA 24 suits machines that need more torque than a NEMA 23 without the size and weight of a NEMA 34. Common applications include:

  • CNC routers and mills — higher-torque axes on mid-size machines.
  • Laser and plasma cutters — gantry and table drive.
  • Automation — heavier conveyors, indexing tables, and feeders.
  • Robotics — joint and base drive where NEMA 23 runs short on torque.
  • Material handling — winders, dispensers, and lift mechanisms.
  • Packaging — high-throughput indexing and positioning.

With a NEMA 24 gearbox the same frame drives a linear actuator or a low-speed, high-torque axis; a dual-shaft version adds a rear shaft for an encoder or a second load.


NEMA 24 vs NEMA 34: Which One Do You Need?

The next size up from NEMA 24 is NEMA 34 (86mm × 86mm). Here is a quick comparison:

NEMA 24 (60mm)NEMA 34 (86mm)
Faceplate60 × 60 mm86 × 86 mm
Max Holding Torque~4 N·m~12 N·m
Weight0.7–1.3 kg1.8–4 kg
Best ForMid-torque CNC and automationHeavy CNC, high-torque axes

If your load needs more than about 4 N·m, move up to NEMA 34. If you need a touch more torque than NEMA 23 in a compact frame, NEMA 24 is the right fit.

Customization Options

Cymotorix NEMA 24 stepper motors can be customized for OEM integration. As a NEMA 24 stepper motor manufacturer and supplier, we produce them to your specification. Common modifications include:


  • Shaft diameter and length adjustment (standard shaft is 8mm or 10mm)
  • D-cut or flat shaft for direct coupling
  • Dual-shaft output for a rear encoder or second load
  • Custom lead wire length and connector type (JST, Molex, bare leads)
  • Winding parameters modified to match your driver voltage and current
  • 0.9° step angle for finer resolution
  • Rear-shaft extension for encoder mounting
  • Planetary or worm gearbox integration for higher output torque at low speed

How to Drive a NEMA 24 Stepper Motor

NEMA 24 motors are 2-phase bipolar steppers, so they run on any standard 2-phase stepper driver. Rated current is around 3.0 to 4.0 A per phase, so a high-current microstepping driver with current regulation is needed. We can supply a driver matched and set to the motor if you want the pair tested together.

Recommended supply voltage is 24–48VDC. A higher bus voltage holds torque better at speed, which matters on CNC axes. Set the driver's current limit to the motor's rated current so the windings don't overheat.
