Stepper drives handle high-power
applications
The NDC series of stepper drives offers ministepping, a built-in oscillator useful in simple move applications and operates from a DC power supply in the range of 24 to 75V DC.
RTA has released the Plus B series of stepper drives, distributed in UK and Ireland by Total Motion Systems They are operated from a single AC supply through an isolating transformer and incorporate a built in oscillator with speed selectable by DIP switch

Drive to optimise stepper motor performance
The ViX Microstepper is designed to optimise stepper motor performance across the speed range 0 to 50rev/s, and squeezes up to 200W shaft power from an industry standard NEMA34 frame stepper motor.
Digital servo boasts outstanding acceleration
The ViX series digital servo drive is available with power ratings of 250 or 500VA, giving continuous current ratings of 2.5 and 5.0A RMS with a motor bus voltage up to 80V DC.
The full RTA range covers motor phase currents from 0.6A/phase up to 14A/phase with motor bus voltages from 24 to 320V DC and the drives are suitable for use with bipolar two-phase 1.8 degree stepping motors from size 11 through to size 65.
The NDC series, available with plug and socket connections or screw terminals, offers ministepping, a built-in oscillator useful in simple move applications and operates from a DC power supply in the range of 24 to 75V DC.
The similar SAC series operates from AC supplies.
The GAC, GMH and GMD series suit high-power applications, with ratings up to 12A and 180V DC from either AC or DC supplies and the packaged Mind B/T series with up to 12A and 180V DC.
The X-Mind series operates directly from mains AC supply at 110 to 230V without the need of a transformer.
The Mind T and X-Mind K series incorporate an onboard motion controller and can be interfaced with a central control system or used as independent units.
For even higher stepper motor performance the BCW02 gives 14A at up to 240V DC.
All drives are protected against short circuits at motor outputs, against under and over voltage and are thermally protected.
