| 1062_1 - PhidgetStepper Unipolar 4-Motor |
Product Features
- The PhidgetStepper Unipolar 4-Motor allows you to control the position, velocity, and acceleration of up to 4 unipolar stepper motors.
- The 1062 can be used in applications that require precise positioning and continuous rotation, at low cost.
- Requires an external 5 to 12VDC power supply.
- Connects directly to a computer’s USB port.
The PhidgetStepper Unipolar allows you to control the position, velocity, and acceleration of up to 4 unipolar stepper motors. The 1062 can be used in applications that require precise positioning and continuous rotation, at low cost.
Note: Because most unipolar motors are resistive limitied, the 1062 does not support current control. If your motor requires current control, have a look at the 1063 - PhidgetStepper Bipolar 1-Motor or the 1067 - PhidgetStepper Bipolar HC.
If you need motors, we carry the following Unipolar Stepper Motors:
- PM42L-048-17 950g-cm Unipolar Stepper
- PM25S-048-15 140g-cm Unipolar Stepper
- PM20L-20-14 50g-cm Unipolar Stepper
If you want to control larger industrial stepper motors, or if you need very precise positioning or a lot of torque, have a look at the 1063 – PhidgetStepper Bipolar Controller.
