With high bus voltage and high current output, STAC6 drives provide even the largest step motors with enough power to get the job done. The ST stepper drives are a family of compact digital stepper drives with multiple control options and many sophisticated features.
The ST drives represent the latest generation of stepper drive technology from Applied Motion. Step motors run smoother than ever with features such as anti-resonance, torque ripple smoothing, and microstep emulation. Step motors also run faster and with more torque due to the alleviation of mid-band resonance issues. Kollmorgen's P Stepper Drive.
Kollmorgen offers stepper motor drives with the versatility, ease-of-use and cost-effectiveness to suit virtually any stepper positioning application.
With microstepping capabilities and no need for feedback systems, these stepper drives offer servo-like positioning with less complexity and a lower total cost. With the simplicity of dip switches and the optimized performance from the complete system, this stepper solution brings increased machine performance without the associated complexity.
Kollmorgen's P Series. Kollmorgen's P stepper drives provide you servo-like system performance with the cost and simplicity of a stepper solution. The P combined with Kollmorgen's stepper motors provide unique level of system smoothness, functionality and performance.
While the smoothness of torque delivery, low-speed motion, and resonance are improved with microstepping, limitations in control and in motor design prevent them from reaching their ideal characteristics.
This is primarily because microstepping drives can only approximate a true sine wave, so some torque ripple, resonance, and noise remains, although each one is greatly reduced in comparison to full- and half-stepping modes. In addition, torque production from a stepper motor with microstepping control is only about 70 percent of the torque produced with full-step control.
However, mechanical gearing multiplies the torque from the motor and increases its position-holding capability. The incremental torque per microstep is determined by the following equation:. For a motor with 0. If the screw has a friction torque of 0. In addition, operating with more steps per revolution requires a higher frequency for the pulse train driving the motor. Using the SDR in the previous example means the motor takes 51, steps, or pulses, per revolution full steps per revolution x microsteps per step.
At a motor speed of rps rpm , the required pulse frequency is more than 5 MHz. Backlash to the system is probably a bad thing, in all regards. Explore our range of stepper motor controllers today.
Microstepping does not just deliver improved positional accuracy When we first explain microstepping to some of our customers they assume that the main advantage of additional microstepping is that it delivers much greater positional accuracy for applications such as robotics or highly accurate dosing. However, there are a number of other additional benefits which can be derived from microstepping. Stepper motors with integrated microstepping controllers.
Remember microstepping is faster and when to think about using it Get the microstep resolution you want preset prior to shipping. Analog Slider. OLED Display. Today we are using the Easy Driver but they are many more available of course.
Another one you might want to use is the Big Easy Driver which support more current to drive bigger stepper motors. So as you can see they are quite similar, but the Big Easy Driver:. Provides more Power up to 2A instead of only mA per phase. Support the use of Screw Terminal blocks for easier connections like the LN.
Most stepper motors are based on 1. Now when using FULL steps, the rotation of the stepper motor can be quite choppy,. Micro Stepping is great but there are some trade-offs…. And most of those have to do with speed… Of both the stepper driver and the micro controller you are using.
You see when you use micro stepping, the stepper driver has to operate at a much faster speed to turn on and turn off power to the stepper motor coils compared to Full stepping.
