The power supply has to be disconnected when plugging in a TMCM-160 module into the BB-160. 
Do not connect or disconnect the motor while the unit is powered. Connecting or disconnecting 
the motor while the unit is powered might damage it.  
 

The power supply should be designed in a way, that it supplies the nominal motor voltage at the 
desired maximum motor current. In no case shall the supply voltage exceed the upper voltage limits. 
To be able to cope with voltage which might be fed back by the motor, the supply should provide a 
sufficient output capacitor and / or a 39V suppressor (zener-)diode. 
 

The TMCM-160 operates with a wide range of block commutated 3 phase BLDC motors with hall 
sensors. Motors with 12, 24 or 36V (ask for 48V option) nominal voltage or any value in between are 
supported with a coil current up to 3A nominal , 5A with forced cooling (up to 8.5 A current for short 
time).
