Five-Phase Micro Stepping Driver Provides Quiet Operation

Designed to handle the high speed and torque of the company's 17 to 23 stepper motors rated up to 1.4A, the STAR biploar MSU500 five-phase micro stepping driver is said to provide smooth, quiet operation and versatile integration into many types of mechanical and electrical instrumentation. The modular design of the unit requires a power source of 24 to 36 Vdc. Built-in features and sinking-type inputs include direction control, internal protection devices, selectable maximum output current, full-step and half-step and micro-step input selections, and clock input signals of ±CW and ±CCW. In addition, a green lit indicator provides users with an assured visual of the unit's ongoing signals and communication with the motor and controller. An automatic motor current on/off input during none-running period prevents overheating. Applications include medical equipment, packaging, and telecom products.
