Stepping systems marry high-performance microstepping drives with high-torque stepper motors to provide simple and accurate control of position and velocity where open-loop control is acceptable and cost is a factor. Stepper motors are available in single and dual-shaft models, as well as linear actuators, along with stepper power supplies and interface cables.

Stepping systems provide simple and accurate control of position and speed where open loop control and cost are considerations.
- Pulses (or "step" and "direction" signals) from a PLC or other indexer motion controller are "translated" by the microstepping drive into precise movement of the stepping motor shaft
- Stepper drives accept pulse inputs; some can be commanded by an analog speed signal or by serial communication
- Serial communications control allows internal indexing (point-to-point moves), velocity control, run-to-sensor, etc
- Stepping motors use 2-phase technology with 200 full steps per revolution or 1.8" per full step

Single-shaft Stepper Motors
Square frame single-shaft step motor style produces high torque to handle a wide range of automation applications.
- 2-phase bipolar (NEMA 42 can also be wired unipolar)
- 1.8° per step, 200 steps per revolution
- Standard NEMA frame sizes (14, 17, 23, 34 & 42)
IP65 Stepper Motors
IP65 rated stepping motors are suitable for many washdown applications, as they are fully sealed against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets.
- Available in single-shaft models (only)
- NEMA 17, 23, and 34 frame sizes
Dual-shaft and Encoder Stepper Motors
IP40 dual-shaft square frame stepper motors provide a holding torque up to 4532 oz-in. Certain NEMA sizes also offer a programmable encoder pre-installed.
- 2-phase bipolar (NEMA 42 can also be wired unipolar)
- 1.8 degrees per step, 200 steps per revolution
- Standard NEMA frame sizes (14, 17, 23, 34 and 42)
Stepper Motor Linear Actuators
Linear actuators are stepper motors that incorporate a lead screw as the rotor, which translates motor torque into linear thrust. Use with undriven linear slides or linear shafts/linear supports to create simple, economical linear motion solutions.
- NEMA 17 and NEMA 23 frame units available in a range of lengths and lead screw pitches
- Up to 193 lbs of thrust and speeds up to 18 inches/second
- Models available with single shafts and encoder-ready dual shafts
High Bus Voltage (AC Input) Stepper Motors and Drives
High bus voltage steppers powered with AC voltage input offer greater torque at much higher speeds. These stepper systems can be applied in a wider range of applications, and can serve as an alternative to expensive servo systems.
High bus voltage mcrostepping drives:
- AC input 90 to 240 VAC
- Output current from 0.6-2.5A
- Microstep from 200 to 25600 steps/rev
- Auto-setup measures and configures motor
High voltage, high torque bipolar stepping motors:
- Single-shaft and dual-shaft motors
- NEMA 23 and NEMA 34 frame sizes
- Available torque from 75 to 1841 oz-in
Stepper Drives
Low cost, compact step motor drives from Leadshine offer a practical feature set at an unbeatable value.
SureStep stepper drives are available in standard or advanced versions, both offering high-performance stepper motor control. The standard model offers a cost-effective stepper solution while the advanced model provides extras such as communication, an analog control input, and internal indexing.
The SureStep family has options for open loop control (no encoder), position monitoring (external encoder feedback), and inclusive position verification (integrated motor/drives with internal encoder).
Integrated Stepper Motors/Drives
For utmost space and cost savings, integrated stepper motors and drives combine high-performance microstepping drives with high-torque stepper motors in one single unit. Standard and advanced models are available.
Control modes include Pulse/Direction, CW Pulse/CCW Pulse, or A/B Quadrature. Dynamic smoothing, software-configurable filtering reduces jerk.
Power Supplies and Regen
Linear unregulated power supplies provide DC power with fused overcurrent protection, and an auxiliary 5VDC supply to power control logic. Switching power supplies are suitable for applications without large fluctuations in load, or aggressive deceleration or regen requirements.
- 120/240 VAC selectable input
- 12, 24, 32, 48, 70VDC output models
Configurable Modular (Kit) Encoders for Step Motors
AMT series encoders from CUI Devices are advanced capacitive encoders with a variety of uses for SureStep motors and integrated motor/drives.
- Configurable pulses per revolution up to 4096 PPR
- Quadrature output signals
- Available in single-ended (totem-pole) and line driver output models
Fixed Resolution Modular Kit Encoders for Stepper Motors
Replacement and optional optical encoders are available for SureStep standalone dual-shaft motors and SureStep standard integrated motor/drives.
- Fixed resolutions of 400 ppr or 1000 ppr
- Line driver or push-pull output signals
Stepper Accessories and Spare Parts
A variety of accessories are available to help with installation of stepper system components.
- Communication converter/adapters
- Motor inertia dampers
- Stepper motor to drive extension cables
- Encoder, control, communication, and linear actuator cables
For SureStep advanced stepper drives/integrated drives, the SureMotion Pro software provides a quick and easy configuration.
