Source Engineering has introduced a compact driver, capable of microstepping. It measures just 2.95 x 4.96 x 1.26- in. and is designed for NEMA 14 through 34 steppers, requiring up to 4 amps per phase and 40 VDC.
The input voltage for these drivers is 20 to 40 VDC (50 VDC being the absolute max.). A potentiometer is used to adjust the running current. The ideal current is 50% of the running current and is activated in 0.5 sec. after the last pulse.
Dip Switch settings provide microsteps of 2, 5, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, and 64 steps-per-step.
Fully enclosed, the driver is mounted on an integral heatsink, and all connections are easily made with terminal blocks for easy integration into new and existing applications. According to the company, the driver is ideal for pick-and-place, medical testing equipment, robotics, security applications, assembly operations, and more.
