DESCRIPTION
The MDrive17Plus Microstepping high torque integrated motor and step and direction driver is ideal for designers who want the simplicity of a motor with on- board electronics. The integrated electron- ics of the MDrive17Plus eliminate the need to run motor cabling through the machine, reducing the potential for problems due to electrical noise.
The unsurpassed smoothness and per- formance delivered by the MDrive17Plus Microstepping are achieved through IMS's advanced 2nd generation current con- trol. By applying innovative techniques to control current flow through the motor, resonance is significantly dampened over the entire speed range and audible noise is reduced.
The MDrive17Plus accepts a broad input voltage range from +12 to +48 VDC, deliv- ering enhanced performance and speed. Oversized input capacitors are used to minimize power line surges, reducing problems that can occur with long runs and multiple drive systems. An extended operating range of
The MDrive17Plus uses a NEMA 17 frame size high torque brushless step motor integrated with a microstepping driver, and accepts up to 20 resolution settings from full to 256 microsteps per full step, including: degrees, metric and arc minutes. These settings may be changed
For use in environments where exposure to chemical, dust and liquids may occur, a sealed
unit with
The versatile MDrive17Plus Microstep- ping is available in multiple configurations to fit various system needs. Rotary motor versions come in three lengths and may in- clude an encoder, control knob, planetary gearbox or linear slide. Long life Acme screw linear actuators** are also available.
Numerous connector styles give you choices for the best fit and features. Select from 12.0” (30.5cm) flying leads, pluggable terminal strip, locking wire crimp connec- tors1, and M23 circular connectors on IP65 sealed versions1.
MDrivePlus connectivity has never been easier with options ranging from
The MDrive17Plus is a compact, powerful and cost effective motion control solution that will reduce system cost, design and assembly time for a large range
of brushless step motor applications.
