Stepper motor with planetary gear

Post by frank22 » Fri Jun 21, 2024 8:16 am

Hello everyone,
I have a planetary gear stepper motor.
If I try to turn the shaft manually at the output of the planetary gear, I can't do it.
But if I separate the gear from the stepper motor, I can turn the shaft very easily.

So does the stepper motor have some kind of brake built in? How does it work and can it be removed?
