Flexible Mounting Options for Compact Stepper Motor Drivers

A driver is essential for any stepper motor system. It receives signals from the controller and controls how the motor operates. The driver sends current through the various phases of the motor and regulates its torque and step resolution. As machines become more compact, finding space to install drivers can be a challenge.

Standard Stepper Motor System Configuration

Oriental Motor understands the need for compact designs and has developed a range of mounting options for our standard stepper motor drivers to suit different machine configurations.

CHALLENGE 1: Mount a Driver Vertically with Horizontal Connections

SOLUTION: Use a Right Angle Driver with Mounting Plate

This type of driver allows connectors to face outward, parallel to the circuit board. Mating connectors are available. A right angle driver with a mounting plate can also be used with a driver cover and DIN rail mounting bracket.

CHALLENGE 2: Mount a Driver Horizontally with Vertical Connections

SOLUTION: Use a Driver with Mounting Plate

This type of driver has connectors that face upward, perpendicular to the circuit board. Mating connectors are included.

CHALLENGE 3: Mount a Driver Directly on a Metal Plate

SOLUTION: Use a Driver without Mounting Plate

This type of driver features connectors that face upward, perpendicular to the circuit board. With design improvements like high-efficiency FETs, it doesn’t require a heat sink. Mating connectors are provided.

CHALLENGE 4: Mount a Driver Directly to a PCB

SOLUTION: Use S-Type Drivers

S-Type drivers are ideal for engineers who prefer custom designs. They can be mounted directly onto a printed circuit board (PCB) using either pin sockets or direct soldering. Both vertical and horizontal S-type drivers are available with I/O only or SPI bus communication.
