The SureStep family of products is an open-loop stepping system designed to provide simple and accurate control of position and speed, offering a solution for applications requiring lower power.
The SureStep family includes four standard motors, a “one-size-fits-all” step motor drive and a power supply. With holding torques from 83 oz-inch to 434 oz-inch in NEMA size 17, 23 or 34 frames, the motors handle a wide range of automation applications. They operate on 2.8 A per phase (size 17 motor uses 2 A), while their square frame style produces high torque and allows the motors to achieve the best torque-to-volume ratio. The drive operates any of the four standard motors and features +5VDC optically isolated logic inputs for interfacing with DirectLogic PLCs and other third party controllers/indexers. The standard 32VDC, 4-amp linear power supply operates at least two SureStep systems of any size with an auxiliary +5VDC regulated supply to facilitate DirectLogic PLCs and stepping motor drive interfaces. Prices for the SureStep motors range from $19 to $99. The microstepping drive is priced at $149 and the power supply is $99.
