STM24QF-3RN

The STM24QF-3RN integrated stepper is a drive+motor unit, fusing a NEMA 24 step motor and a sophisticated, 6.0 A/phase (peak-of-sine) step motor drive into a single device. Power to the drive, located at the rear of the motor, must be supplied by an external DC supply.

The STM24QF-3RN integrated stepper can operate in all of the same control modes as S models, plus the ability to run a Q program stored in non-volatile memory. Q programs are created using Applied Motion’s Q Programmer™ software, which provides powerful commands for motion, I/O, conditional processing, multi-tasking, math functions, and more.

All STM24 integrated steppers are setup and configured using Applied Motion’s ST Configurator™ software.

The STM24QF-3RN comes with 4 digital I/O points, called Flex I/O points, because each point can be individually defined as an input or an output. As inputs, the Flex I/O points accept signals of 5-24 VDC and can be used for connecting pulse & direction signals, end-of-travel limit switches, jog switches, quadrature encoder signals, PLC outputs, sensors, or many other signal types. When defined as digital outputs, the Flex I/O points can be connected to PLC inputs, counters, lights, relays, or other devices. The unit also comes with 1 analog input that accepts 0-5 VDC signals, which can be used for velocity and position control.

The STM24QF-3RN comes with an RS-485 port for programming and serial communications.
