Motorized Linear Actuators
The AutomationDirect Titanio LW3A stepper drive, part of the Titanio series from Ever Motion Solutions, is a high-performance drive designed to control stepper motors efficiently in automation applications. This compact, reliable, and versatile drive offers several key features that make it an ideal choice for various industrial automation tasks.
Key Features of the Titanio LW3A Stepper Drive
The Titanio LW3A stepper drive is compatible with a wide range of stepper motors, particularly NEMA 23 and NEMA 34 sizes. It offers high-resolution microstepping with configurable step resolutions, enabling smooth and precise motor control. The drive supports current outputs of up to around 3A per phase, suitable for medium-power stepper motors, and operates within a voltage range of 20V to 50V DC, optimized for common industrial power supplies.
The drive accepts standard step and direction inputs, making it compatible with most motion controllers and PLCs. It includes built-in protections such as overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage, and thermal shutdown to enhance reliability and safety. The drive also provides DIP switches or potentiometers for easy setting of current limits and microstepping modes. Its compact design and mounting features for DIN rails or panels make it suitable for standard industrial control panels.
Diagnostic indicators such as LED indicators for status and fault conditions simplify troubleshooting and maintenance. Additionally, the Titanio LW3A stepper drive can detect stalls in open-loop control mode by monitoring the motor's back EMF, ensuring smooth and efficient operation.
