Description

The STR8 st epper drive is a compact , powerful, digit al st ep & direct ion drive, great for OEM applicat ions requiring basic
st ep & direct ion cont rol of a 2-phase st ep mot or. The STR8 out put s up t o 8 A/phase t o t he st ep mot or, and is
compat ible wit h a variet y of 2-phase st ep mot ors t hat have been select ed t o opt imize performance of bot h t he drive
and mot or.

The STR8 drive feat ures advanced microst epping performance and sophist icat ed current cont rol wit h ant i-resonance.
Ant i-resonance elect ronically damps mot or and syst em resonances, which improves mot or smoot hness and t orque
over a wide speed range.

Each STR8 st ep mot or drive operat es in eit her St ep & Direct ion or Pulse/Pulse cont rol mode. Select ing bet ween t hese
t wo modes is done by moving a jumper locat ed under t he cover of t he drive. Each STR8 drive can microst ep up t o
20,000 st eps/rev wit h a 1.8º st ep mot or (1/100 st ep), and can even microst ep t he st ep mot or when t he command
pulses are low resolut ion. This feat ure is called Microst ep Emulat ion. All drive set up is done via dip swit ches and a
rot ary swit ch on t he side of t he drive, including mot or select ion, running current , idle current , and st ep resolut ion.
