Stepper Motor Controllers and Drivers
Tell your stepper motor how far and fast to go by adding a controller and driver to your system. A controller is similar to a PLC—they store and run programs and send signals to a driver. These controllers have commands specifically for stepper motors such as number of steps and direction. The driver delivers power to the motor based on the signals from the controller. Choose from either an individual driver or a combination controller/driver.
For technical drawings and 3-D models, click on a part number.
Drivers can be set to different step resolutions. The higher the number of step resolution settings, the greater the flexibility you have for determining the size of the motor’s step.
Choose a driver rated at or below your motor's maximum current.
Step resolution determines the size of the step a motor takes. For example, setting a 1/128 step resolution on your driver divides one full step into 128 smaller steps. The smaller the steps your motor takes the more smoothly and precisely it will move.

Simplify setup with these single units. The controller and driver are combined, so you can determine all your settings from one device including number of steps, direction, and step resolution. They have multiple inputs and outputs to communicate with more than just a motor. Connect sensors and switches or link multiple controllers together to coordinate movements between motors.
Choose a controller/driver rated at or below your motor’s maximum current.
Encoder-compatible controller/drivers are best when relative positioning is critical, such as coordinating motion in a multi-axis system. They connect to an encoder (not included), which monitors the position of the motor's shaft and reports back to the controller.
Step resolution determines the size of the step a motor takes. For example, setting a 1/128 step resolution on your controller/driver divides one full step into 128 smaller steps. The smaller the steps your motor takes the more smoothly and precisely it will move.

Stepper Motors with Integrated Motion Control
With a built-in controller and driver, these stepper motors come ready to program and operate. Connect them to a computer and use the free downloadable software to set them up. After that, the controller can store and run programs on its own. The controller communicates to the driver which directs the motor’s shaft to move in small, equal increments. When the shaft stops, it holds its position even when a counteracting force is applied to the load. All are bipolar hybrid stepper motors, which deliver greater torque, precision, and efficiency than other types of stepper motors.
When relative positioning is critical, such as coordinating motion in a multi-axis system, choose a motor with an encoder. The encoder monitors the position of the shaft and reports back to the controller.
Holding torque is the force needed to move the shaft out of position when it is stationary. When the shaft is in motion, torque generally decreases as speed increases. Use a torque-speed curve to confirm which motor will work for your application. Click on a part number and select “Product Detail” to view the curve for a motor.
You can adjust the step resolution down to 1/256 of a full step, which translates to 51,200 microsteps per revolution. Increasing the number of steps directs an even more precise position and reduces the step-step-step motion to mimic a smooth, continuous rotation. The higher the number of step resolution settings, the greater the flexibility you have for determining the size of the motor’s step.

Stepper Servomotors with Integrated Drive
Simplify your servomotor setup—these servomotors have a built-in drive, removing the need for cable between the motor and drive. They create high torque at low speeds like traditional stepper motors but with greater torque performance and positioning reliability.
These servomotors accept step and direction, position, speed, torque, or sequencing commands. Use a computer to set up and calibrate the motor to your system. After initial setup, use a separate controller, such as a programmable logic controller (PLC), microcontroller, or indexer. You can also store target positions with speeds and accelerations in the drive and then trigger each sequence with minimal input from a controller. The encoder relays distance, direction, and speed back to the servomotor. Based on this feedback, the servomotor dynamically adapts its movements to increase system efficiency.
Holding torque is the force needed to move the shaft out of position when it is stationary. Torque generally decreases as speed increases.

DC Servomotors
Often used for small automation applications, such as pick-and-place machines, these servomotors deliver lots of power in a small package. With accurate positioning and fine motor control, they create rotary motion based on signals from a drive (sold separately). The commands for speed and positioning are the same as those used for stepper motors, so you can upgrade your system without the hassle of reprogramming it. As these servomotors move, their encoder relays the shaft’s distance, direction, and speed back to the drive. The drive increases your system’s efficiency by taking the electrical signal from the encoder and dynamically adapting the motor’s movements, also accounting for inconsistent loads and unexpected forces.
Drives have several control modes that power the motor—step and direction, position, speed, or torque. Use a computer to set motion parameters and calibrate the servomotor to your system. After initial setup, you can use a separate controller, such as a programmable logic controller (PLC), microcontroller, or indexer. A brake resistor protects the drive from regenerated electricity as the motor slows or stops.
Torque generally decreases as speed increases. Use a torque-speed curve to confirm which motor will work for your application. Click on a part number and select "Product Detail" to view the curve for a motor.

Stepper Servomotors
Combine the high torque at low speeds that traditional stepper motors are known for with the greater torque performance and positioning reliability of a servomotor. They create rotary motion based on signals from a drive (sold separately). As these servomotors move, their encoder relays the shaft’s distance, direction, and speed back to the drive. The drive increases your system’s efficiency by taking the electrical signal from the encoder and dynamically adapting the motor’s movements, also accounting for inconsistent loads and unexpected forces.
Drives have several control modes that power the motor—sequencing, position, speed, or torque. You can program target positions with speeds and accelerations in the drive to trigger sequences with minimal input from a controller. You can also use a computer, programmable logic controller (PLC), microcontroller, or indexer to set motion parameters, tune the motor to your mechanical system, and stream multiple commands to the driver to carry out complex motion sequences.
For technical drawings and 3-D models, click on a part number.
Holding torque is the force needed to move the shaft out of position when it is stationary. Torque generally decreases as speed increases. Use a torque-speed curve to confirm which motor will work for your application. Click on a part number and select "Product Detail" to view the curve for a motor.

AC Servomotors
Good for high speeds with fast accelerations, these servomotors are often used in automated assembly, material handling, and packaging applications. These motors require a low amount of force to stop or start, commonly referred to as low inertia, so they respond to position commands quickly and can rapidly accelerate and decelerate.
Pair a servomotor and drive (sold separately) for accurate speed and position control. The absolute encoder built into the motor knows the exact position of the shaft at startup and relays distance, direction, and speed back to the drive. Based on this feedback, the drive dynamically adapts the motor’s movements and increases system efficiency. A brake resistor protects the drive from regenerated electricity as the motor slows or stops.
Drives can be quickly set up and programmed to control position, speed, and torque from a computer or programmable logic controller (PLC). These drives only require one cord to connect to the motor and encoder. Once connected, the drive recognizes the motor and automatically begins startup. Use the keypad to start the motor, run diagnostics, and edit motion parameters directly from the drive. Drives also include safe torque off (STO) functionality, which prevents power from going to the motor during an emergency stop or maintenance.
Gear boxes reduce the speed and increase the torque output of your motor. These planetary gear boxes have low backlash, which allows them to maintain a high-level of precision when transmitting motion from your servomotor. They also have hardened steel gears that withstand fast accelerations in dynamic applications. They come permanently lubricated, so there is no need to add or maintain oil or grease.

DC Servomotors with Integrated Drive
A built-in drive simplifies your servomotor setup, removing the need for cable between the motor and drive. DC servomotors are often used for small automation applications, such as pick-and-place machines, because they deliver lots of power in a small package. This system includes a motor, encoder, and drive for accurate positioning and fine control over speed and position.
These servomotors use the same step and direction commands as a stepper motor, so you can upgrade your current stepper motor system with this system. Use a computer to set up and calibrate the motor to your system. After initial setup, use a separate controller, such as a programmable logic controller (PLC), microcontroller, or indexer. The encoder relays distance, direction, and speed back to the servomotor. Based on this feedback, the servomotor dynamically adapts its movements to increase system efficiency.
Power supplies are designed to power servomotors, so they have tightly controlled voltage and high peak current output to support high performance motor control. They are capable of handling or dissipating regenerated energy as the motor slows or stops.

Electric Positioning Slides with Automated Controls
With an included controller and an integrated stepper motor, these slides are a complete precision motion control system. The stepper motor moves the low-friction ball screw and carriage smoothly at high speeds, similar to an inkjet printer head. To make sure the carriage is in the right place, the built-in encoder sends data to the controller. At ± 0.02 mm, these slides have a repeatability thinner than a single strand of hair, so the carriage hits the same spot every time. They work well in automated assemblies and other processes requiring accurate, repeatable motion.
For the initial setup, program the slides using the free, downloadable software, THK D-STEP. No coding necessary—simply enter the target position, speed, and acceleration for up to 16 different slides. This software also records position, speed, and motor current data, so you can monitor performance, optimize motion, and troubleshoot issues.
After the initial setup, the controller stores and runs sequences of up to 512 unique steps on its own. The controller also communicates with other devices such as PLCs, switches, and sensors. This means it can be integrated into a larger automated system to react to or trigger other processes as the carriage moves.
Travel distance per turn, also known as screw lead, is how far the carriage moves with one rotation of the ball screw.
Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load slides can move. If you increase the speed, the dynamic load capacity decreases. Use a load-speed chart to confirm which slides will work for your application. Click on a part number and select "Product Detail" to view the chart.
