Unipolar Drives

SM02

The stand alone SM02 Unipolar stepper drive has a footprint of only 55mm x 40mm and can be panel mounted.

It can drive a wide range of unipolar stepper motors, with 6 or 8 leads, at currents up to 1 Amp per phase and supply voltages from 9-24 Volts dc. The drive board and motor share the same power supply. Connections are made by PCB mounted terminal blocks. The board can drive at a range of speeds controlled by an external potentiometer, to assist customers we can supply the SM02 with a fixed output speed. A standard header provides direction control, full step (1 or 2 phase) or half step modes via jumpers or external control.

SM04

The SM04 is a programmable drive designed for uni-polar (6 lead) motors that can be programmed to meet the customer's prototyping application. It operates from a supply voltage of 6 to 24V with a maximum phase current of 1A. The driver can provide either standard or custom configurations.

In standard mode the output can provide full-step and half-step configurations at a range of preprogrammed stepping rates.

In custom mode the programmable IC allows the drive to be configured by Rotalink to execute a wide range of sequences of controlled functions to the customer's specification.

These functions include step, pause and reverse direction. The functions can be triggered and inhibited by control inputs such as microswitches, hall-effect switches or other external signals.
