The MDrive23Plus Speed Control is a NEMA size 23 high torque 1.8° stepping motor integrated with a microstepping driver and an intelligent velocity controller.

Features include:

  • SPI communications
  • +12 to +75 VDC input voltage
  • Up to 283 oz-in (200 N-cm) holding torque
  • 10-bit analog input which can operate in three different input modes: voltage, current and PWM.
  • 20 microstep resolutions from full step to 51,200 steps per revolution.
  • Programmable Run and Hold Current
  • All parameters are software configuarable (setup utility included) - no external switches or resistors required.

All-inclusive QuickStart Kits facilitate rapid design verification by bundling MDrive products with everything needed to connect quickly and conveniently, enabling engineers to confirm with confidence that their application’s design goals are met.

QuickStart Kits include: a single sheet instruction guide, software/manuals CD, and connection cabling including Communications Converter and Prototype Development Cable(s).

Order QuickStart Kits simply by placing a “K” at the beginning of an MDrive part number.

Above photo represents a QuickStart Kit. Kit cabling varies with MDrivePlus ordered.

Connecting an MDrive has never been easier with readily available Communications Converters and Prototype Development Cables, in addition to Mating Connector Kits for use in building your own cables. Select the “Options/Accessories” tab for details on these connectivity options.
