PANdrive™ Smart Motors

TRINAMIC's PD42-1070 family was developed specifically to simplify the application of advanced power-control technology.

The NEMA17 stepper motors will feature amplifiers preconfigured for the motor types and controlled via step and direction signals. By default, all amplifiers will include the silent PWM control mode, stealthChop, and a microPlyer™, which transforms a starting microstep resolution of 16-microsteps-per-full-step into a sinusoidal power curve with 256 microsteps.

Motors with integrated control systems starkly simplify product design, especially for applications that are already outfitted with step and direction output controls, for example, 3D printers and small desktop CNCs. The thermally optimized and tested electronics housing allows a compact and cost-effective device design.

Drives with a holding torque of 0.27 Nm to 0.29 Nm are available. Matching cable kits are also available to help accelerate development. The drives are immediately usable upon delivery, but, if necessary, can be configured for application via a UART interface with the free TMCL-IDE.
