SilverPak 23D Now RoHS Compliant and Available with Configuration Module


Santa Clara, CA - October 2007 - Lin Engineering, the Step Motor Specialists, are pleased to announce the release of their new and improved SilverPak 23D product line. The SilverPak 23D is a high torque NEMA 23 step motor with an integrated microstepping driver. The new version of the SilverPak 23D comes with added features such as increased operating voltage range and the ability to use the new Lin configuration module.

The SilverPak 23D is designed to help reduce overall design time and system cost for a wide array of step motor applications needing high torque and smooth motion. It is available in three body lengths: 2.52", 2.96" and 3.89" and is capable of up to 294 oz-in of holding torque depending on the stack size of the motor. The SilverPak 23D operates from 12 VDC to 48 VDC and the available phase current ranges from 0.3 Amps to 3 Amps peak. This integrated motor/driver combination boasts step resolutions ranging from 2x microstepping up to 256X microstepping and 4 selectable damping modes. The unit also features: optically isolated step, direction and disable/enable inputs; and under-voltage and over-temperature protection.

The SilverPak 23D is now available with the new Lin Engineering configuration module (sold separately). Users can easily use the configuration module to adjust various parameters of the SilverPak 23D unit. These parameters include, but are not limited to:

Step resolution change via dipswitches on configuration board
Run current change via dipswitches on configuration board
Hold current change via dipswitches on configuration board
Damping modes for smoother motion
Selection of sensing the step pulses on the rising edge or falling edge
Selection of sensing the direction change on the rising or falling edge
