Has anyone seen Kysan steppers like this before??
They look like the 1124090 stepper by Kysan but I haven't seen one with a sticker like that.

I have seen Kysan motors like that, someone at the factory was probably in a hurry and just slapped on the label without looking to see where it was placed.

Wasn't so much the placement of the sticker as the quality of the sticker, ones I've seen have the Kysan Electronics logo and stuff on the sticker.

The recent ones I have seen look exactly like the one you took a picture of unless you are correct and they are not true Kysan motors.

I just ordered a few from Ultimachine. I'll let you know what they look like on Monday.

It looks like they changed the labels. I doubt very much that those are fakes.
Thanks, Jim.

Thanks for that, found a 4 pack of Kysan steppers for $40 on amazon and wanted to be sure they were real. Looks like they are the real deal!

Were they a one time deal, or did you find a cheaper supplier?
These are $14ish each from Ultimachine.

looks like they were a one time deal, cause they have no more up on Amazon, I just checked.
Closest they have now on Amazon is a 4 pack for $65 which would be about $16 something apiece so Ultimachine is the better deal there.

My guess is that they relocated the sticker so that it can act as a tamper seal.

I'm just glad they are real! They are some strong steppers!
