Stepper motor increase rpm but keep torque

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Increasing the RPM of a stepper motor while maintaining torque is achievable by raising the voltage supplied to the motor. The specific motor and control board referenced are available at RS Online, with the motor model number 3514631 and the control board model number 2407920. The current RPM of 3.5 can be increased to the desired 18 RPM by adjusting the voltage, as higher voltage typically enhances both RPM and torque. It is crucial to consult the manufacturer's torque-voltage-RPM curve to ensure the motor operates within its optimal parameters.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of stepper motor operation and control
  • Familiarity with voltage and torque relationships in electric motors
  • Knowledge of motor specifications and performance curves

increasing the voltage usually increases the rpm and the torque.
Mind you, if the step timing is a constant then, although the motor spends less time doing each step, the average speed should stay the same.

Changing the average speed of the motor, then, involves making more steps per second.
So what controls that?
 
Generally, increasing the voltage to the stepper motor is done to provide more torque. If undertorqued, the stepper motor will not advance to the next step, ie it will not turn.
 
Your motor should have a torque-voltage-RPM curve given by the manufacturer. Your answer is there.
