Stepping systems marry high-performance microstepping drives with high-torque stepper motors to provide simple and accurate control of position and velocity where open-loop control is acceptable and cost is a factor. Stepper motors are available in single and dual-shaft models, as well as linear actuators, along with stepper power supplies and interface cables.

High-value and high-performance stepper drives with high torque stepper motors
Stepping systems provide simple and accurate control of position and speed where open loop control and cost are considerations.
- Pulses (or "step" and "direction" signals) from an AutomationDirect PLC or other indexer motion controller are "translated" by the microstepping drive into precise movement of the stepping motor shaft.
- Stepper drives accept pulse inputs; some can be commanded by an analog speed signal or by serial communication.
- Serial communications control allows internal indexing (point-to-point moves), velocity control, run-to-sensor, etc.
- Stepping motors use 2-phase technology with 200 full steps per revolution or 1.8" per full step.
- Leadshine® high-quality, 2-phase, digital stepper drives offer a basic feature set at an unbeatable value.
- SureStep microstepping drives use advanced microstepping technology to smooth motor motion and stepping response in order to minimize vibration.
- The SureStep family has options for open loop control (no encoder), position monitoring (external encoder feedback), and inclusive position verification (integrated motor/drives with internal encoder).
- Motors available with single shafts, dual shafts, and linear actuator models that have lead screws for rotors. Encoder-ready versions (rear shafts plus encoder mounting holes) available in all styles.
