The 42BYG is a NEMA 17 bipolar stepper motor with a shaft-reversed design, commonly used in 3D printers, CNC machines, and DIY motion-control projects. With a 1.8° step angle and 40 N·cm holding torque, it provides reliable, precise positioning.
The motor comes with a 70 cm 4-lead wire (AWG26 UL1007) for easy connection to stepper drivers like the A4988 or DRV8825.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- RMS
- RMS is a way of describing the effective level of an AC signal, such as an audio output voltage. It helps compare audio output levels more meaningfully than a peak voltage number.
- Torque
- A twisting force that causes something to rotate, usually measured in newton-metres or kilogram-centimetres. It matters when choosing motors, servos, gears, and tools because higher torque is needed to lift heavier loads, turn larger wheels, or move mechanisms without stalling.
