Plug & Drive Motors

Plug and Drive motors with integrated driver are the most effective and economical drive solution for all engineers who need to solve precise revolution and positioning tasks with low effort and maximum user benefit.
The Plug and Drive stepper motors not only significantly reduce development and assembly costs of a complex drive unit, but also increase flexibility and system characteristics as well as the availibility of a complete drive unit. Because of the mechanical and electrical compatibility with standard motors, the replacement of existing drive solutions is possible without problems.
There are three types available for different requirements:
| PD-T Clock-/Direction-Input for simple connection to PC, SPS or other drivers. |
PD-A Analoge-Input 0-10 V allows for speed control with external voltage. |
PD-I Integrated positioning driver via RS232/485 allow for stand-alone operation, up to 16 motors can be networked. |
| Series | Size (mm) | Holding Torque (Ncm) |
Phase Current (A) |
Series |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PD2-T42 | □ 42 | 20-40 | 1,8 | with clock-dirction Input |
| PD4-I59 | □ 57 | 50-160 | 4 | with integrated Position controller |
| PD6-I89 | 89 | 320-933 | 9 | with integrated Position controller |
Integrated functional advantages
- individual, application-related microstep switching of 200, 400, 800, 1600, (3200) steps/rev. enables smooth running, reduces system resonance and increases the stepping motor resolution.
- only requires an unstabilised supply voltage of 21 -40 V
- automatic current reduction or current zeroing reduces and eliminates respectivly power loss and heating during motor standstill
- automatic current boosting in half and quarter-step mode.
- EMC problems are greatly diminished as a result of the compact design and almost wattless pulse transmission.
Options
- integrated encoder allows for external torque monitoring
- attached gear additionally wides the power range.
- integrated brakes with integrated microstep constant current drivers offer additional security for z-axis.
