Leadshine 2-phase digital stepper drives from AutomationDirect
Leadshine 2-phase digital micro-stepping drives with micro-stepping motor movement and anti-resonance for optimal torque, provide extra smooth motion, low motor heating and noise. These drives accept a wide range of input voltages (12 to 110 Vdc, 18 to 80 Vac) and provide over-voltage and overcurrent protection, motor auto-configuration on power up and Soft-start at power […]
AC drives for motor and motion control
Today’s VFDs perform far more than just traditional motor controls. Some include computing, I/O handling, and even motion-control capabilities. Such intelligent drives excel in smaller and localized systems. Case in point from material handling: Some VFDs with onboard PLCs work for motion control on infeed conveyors. In one specific case, a photoeye and tower light […]

VFDs with integrated PLCs for motion and machine controls: Programming and setup considerations
Today’s ac drives can be controlled by either an external or internal PLC. Those with built-in controls move machine intelligence to the edge. By Jeff Payne • AutomationDirect Though ac drives can operate as standalone devices, they often integrate into automation systems to control speed of three-phase ac motors that commonly run conveyors, fans, and […]
SureStep IP65 rated stepper motors from AutomationDirect
AutomationDirect has added motors designed for washdown environments to its stepper systems product line. SureStep IP65 rated high-torque stepping motors are completely protected from solids and dust ingress and from low pressure water jets from any direction, making them suitable for many washdown applications. These fully sealed, single-shaft motors are available with industry-standard NEMA 17, […]
