IMS's MDrive17Plus Microstepping high torque integrated motor and driver is ideal for designers who want the simplicity of a motor with on-board electronics. The integrated electronics of the MDrive17Plus eliminate the need to run the motor cabling through the machine, reducing the potential for problems due to electrical noise.

The unsurpassed smoothness and performance delivered by the MDrive17Plus Microstepping are achieved through IMS's 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 is reduced.

The MDrive17Plus accepts a broad input voltage range from +12 to +48 VDC, delivering enhanced performance and speed. Oversized input capacitors are used to minimize power line surges, reducing problems that can occur with long runs and multiple drive systems. An extended operating range of -40° to +85° C provides long life, trouble free service in demanding environments.

The MDrive17Plus uses a NEMA 17 frame size high torque brushless motor combined with a microstepping driver, and accepts up to 20 resolution settings from full to 256 microsteps per full step, including: degrees, metric and arc minutes. These settings may be changed on-the-fly or downloaded and stored in non-volatile memory with the use of a simple GUI which is provided. This eliminates the need for external switches or resistors. Parameters are changed via an SPI port.

For use in environments where exposure to chemical, dust and liquids may occur, a sealed MDrive17Plus-65 Microstepping unit with 19-pin M23 circular connector meets IP65 specifications.*

The versatile MDrive17Plus Microstepping is available in multiple configurations to fit various system needs. Rotary motor versions come in three lengths and may include an optical encoder, control knob, planetary gearbox or linear slide. A long life Acme screw linear actuator* is also available. Interface connections are accomplished using either a pluggable locking wire crimp, terminal strip or 12.0" (30.5cm) flying leads, or with an M23 circular connector for sealed-65 versions.

The MDrive17Plus is a compact, powerful and inexpensive solution that will reduce system cost, design and assembly time for a large range of brushless motor applications.
