Compact, Lightweight Driver The driver in the CRK Series achieves microstep drive in a compact, lightweight body. A new IC allows the driver to provide various functions, including the following:
Smooth Drive Function
1-pulse/2-pulse input mode switching
25 preset step angles
Power LED
Photocoupler input
The compact, lightweight driver in the CRK Series is approximately 45% smaller than a conventional full-step driver. Lower Vibration and Noise Achieved by Microstep Drive
The basic step angle of the motor can be divided into a maximum of 250 microstep angles without using any mechanical element such as a reduction gear. As a result, vibration and noise are further reduced.
Improved Performance can Usually be Easily Integrated into an Existing 2-Phase System The basic step angle can be adjusted to match a 2-phase stepping motor's step angles, so a switchover from the 2-phase microstep mode can be easily made without having to change input pulses.
