The ultra compact Microstepping MForce MicroDrive is a high performance, low cost microstepping driver that delivers unsurpassed
smoothness and performance achieved through IMS’s advanced 2nd generation current control. By applying innovative
techniques to control current flow through the motor, resonance is significantly dampened over the entire speed
range and audible noise is reduced.
Microstepping MForce MicroDrives accept a broad input voltage range from +12 to +48 VDC, delivering enhanced performance and speed. Oversized input capacitors are used to minimize power line surges, reducing problems that can occur with long runs and multiple drive systems. An extended operating range of -40° to +85°C provides long life, trouble free service in demanding environments.
The high, per phase output current of up to 2 Amps RMS, 2.8 Amps Peak, allows the extremely compact MForce MicroDrive to control of a broad array of motors from size 8 to size 34.
The microstepping drive accepts up to 20 resolution settings from full to 256 microsteps per full step, including: degrees, metric and arc minutes. These settings may be changed on-the-fly or downloaded and stored in nonvolatile memory with the use of a simple GUI which is provided. This eliminates the need for external switches or resistors. Parameters are changed via an SPI port.
Power and signal interface connections are accomplished with either a pluggable locking wire crimp, terminal strip or 12.0" (30.5cm) flying leads. Motor phases are connected via a pluggable 4-pin locking wire crimp connector.
The Microstepping MForce MicroDrive is a compact, powerful and inexpensive solution that will reduce system cost, design and assembly time for a large range of applications.
The IMS SPI Motor Interface software is an easy to install and use GUI for configuring Microstepping MForce from a computer's USB port. GUI access is via the IMS SPI Motor Interface included on the CD shipped with the product, or from this web site (Support / Download Software / User Interface Software). Optional cables are available for ease of connecting and configuring the MForce.
