This might be the data sheet I am not sure:

Information for this motor and mount was hard to find but I believe the following to be true, although I could be wrong:

  • drive motor period = 48 steps
  • "tin can" gearbox attached to drive motor = 120:1
  • motor w/tin can period = 48*120 = 5760 steps
  • RA worm gear = 144:1
  • RA period = 5760*144 = 829,440 steps
  • drive motor wiring
    • coil A - Green and Yellow
    • coil B - Red and Brown
    • 42PM48L(CZ) RoHS NO:20160720
