High performance microstepper drives with high torque stepper motors

SureStep® stepping systems provide simple and accurate control of position and speed where open-loop control and cost are considerations.

Pulses (or "step" and "direction" signals) from an AutomationDirect PLC or other indexer motion controller are "translated" by the microstepping drive into precise movement of the stepping motor shaft.
SureStep Advanced stepper drives accept pulse inputs, but they also can be commanded by an analog speed signal or by serial communication.
SureStep serial communications control allows internal indexing (point-to-point moves), velocity control, run-to-sensor, etc.
SureStep stepping motors use 2-phase technology with 200 full steps per revolution or 1.8" per full step.
SureStep microstepping drives use advanced microstepping technology to smooth motor motion and stepping response in order to minimize vibration problems.
The SureStep family has options for open loop control (no encoder), position monitoring (external encoder feedback), and inclusive position verification (integrated motor/drives with internal encoder).
SureStep stepper motor, microstepper drive and power supply products provide low-cost, reliable, high quality solutions to positioning and motion control application requirements.
