Original Press Release:
Two New Step & Direction MDrive14Plus Ultra-Compact Integrated Products
Integrated motor+drive solutions ideal for motion applications with limited space
MARLBOROUGH, CT - November 20, 2008 - The MDrivePlus product line, with its proven leading integrated motor and drive technology, expands its smallest and lowest cost all-in-one motion control product offering with two new step & direction solutions: the MDrive14Plus Microstepping and the MDrive14Plus Half/Full Step.
Ultra-compact MDrive14Plus products utilize a NEMA size 14 brushless 1.8° stepping motor and measure a mere 1.9" x 1.4" x 2.0" (48x36x52mm). These products are an ideal solution for many motion applications where machine space is limited such as in medical, biomedical, clinical chemistry platforms and lab automation.

The MDrive14Plus Half/Full Step is suitable for basic applications requiring no more than half and full step.
The MDrive14Plus Microstepping is capable of full (256 x 200) microstepping. Features include +12 to +48 VDC supply input, choice of internal magnetic or external optical encoders with multiple line counts and index mark, and an extended operating range of -40° to +85°C providing long life, trouble free service in demanding environments.
Oversized input capacitors are used to minimize power line surges, reducing problems that can occur with long runs and multiple drive systems. Unsurpassed smoothness and performance is achieved through 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 reduced.
The MDrive14Plus can reduce size, cost and complexity in a wide range of brushless motor applications without compromising functionality, and is an ideal compact solution where space is limited.
