Product Details

The STF06 stepper drive is a DC-powered microstepping drive for controlling two-phase, bipolar step motors. It offers advanced current control and an anti-resonance algorithm that electronically damps motor and system resonances to improve motor smoothness and usable torque over a wide speed range. The drive employs electronic torque ripple smoothing and microstep emulation to greatly reduce motor noise and vibration. The drive must be powered from 12 to 48 VDC and can output up to 6.0 A/phase (peak-of-sine) to the step motor. Over-voltage, over-temperature and over-current protection features prevent damage while running in adverse conditions.

Matching Motors

The STF06 sits in the middle of the STF series in terms of power. It is complemented by a specifically matched set of stepper motors (see Related and Recommended products below). For a higher-powered STF drive see the STF10, and for a lower-powered drive see the STF03.

Inputs and Outputs

For connecting to external devices such as control signals, limit switches, proximity or photoelectric sensors, PLC I/O, lamps, and other devices, the drive comes with 8 digital inputs and 4 digital outputs. The function of each I/O point is configured with the STF Configurator software. Details on wiring different I/O types can be found in the STF Hardware Manual (see Downloads section).

Note: Flying lead I/O cable is sold separately, P/N 3004-348 .
