Can I wire my Y axis AND Z axis in series?

Hi,

I have a fairly heavy print bed running on a belt mechanism. I would like to hook my 2 stepper motors in series for the Y Axis to work together, each controlling a different belt. (Prevent belt slipping)

My Z Axis is wired in series, and works flawlessly, my question is, will it work with the Y axis too?

I am using the new AZSMZ Mini with a 24V 20A psu.

My stepper motors have a low amperage, and power consumption:

200 steps per revolution (1.8 deg/step)
2 Phase bipolar 4 wires
Rated Voltage 2V DC
Rated Current 1.2A
Phase Resistance: 1.7 Ohm ± 10% (20º C)
Phase inductance: 4.5 mH ± 20% (1kHz 1 V rms)
Holding torque: 0.4 N.m Min.

My stepper drivers are the reliable DRV8825's handling 1.7 A per driver (As said by seller who sold me the AZSMZ)

Cons and Pros?

Thanks! Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Yes, those are low voltage motors so they should work well wired in series, especially with a 24V supply.
