What kind of ribbon connector should I use to connect to an Arduino, or just regular wires?

I had unit mounted on pad-per-hole perf board so for mechanical stability I tack soldered wires to a row of pads which then could connect to whatever. Had to exercise care in the the soldering and any stressing - flex cable is delicate.

how much force does this apply at 3v and 5v?

Did not measure the force. It was enough force to move our geared mechanism.

What is the maximum axial force this actuator can sustain? And what is the power draw at 6V?

Not sure- my application was lightly loaded.

What is the linear travel speed (mm/sec)?

Depends on driver I think - but I’m sure it could go the whole length in a second or two, driven by 5V H bridge through 200 ohm.

Works great

Used a multimeter to figure out the phase pair connections. Very quiet and minimal backlash

fast delivery, and good price.

This stepper motor should be 4-wire and it is only 2-wire.

No documentation at all

I chatted with the rep on Amazon, their supplier doesn't have/isn't willing to give them datasheets. I don't think this is the seller's fault, but it is unfortuntate. These motors need a stepper motor driver and heat up really hot. No documentation on mechanical, electrical, or how to solder them. About 30% of the 40 I bought are defective. This is ok though considering the price and considering that you get two per package. I'll update this review higher if the supplier provides documentation sheets. :-)

No wiring diagram/pin out

I am not able to use as there is not technical documentation supplie to show what is a/a- and b/b- pins on steppers. Have tried searching internet but have not come up with info for this model.
