Can I use Nema 17 (12-24V recommended) with 36V?

    Is there any problem if I use 36V power source with DQ542MA (with correct current limit) and Nema 17?
    The motor's webpage says: 12-24VDC (Recommended).

    Is there any reason why 36V would not be Ok?

    I have read that the maximum voltage depends on inductance L [mH]:
    Vmax = 32 * sqrt(L)​
    So, in this case the maximum voltage would be 53V.

    Yes, will not be a problem, the driver will current regulate, higher voltage gets you more speed potential.
