Trinamic’s PD-1378 PANdrive smart stepper motors combine robust stepper motors with closed-loop operation for higher precision, reliability, efficiency, and safety.
TRINAMIC Motion Control announces their latest addition to their line of PANdrive™ smart motors with the closed-loop PD‑1378 stepper drive. A complete mechatronic solution with 12…48V DC and 9A RMS current per motor phase, the easy to use PANdrive is controlled via CAN bus interface and uses the CANopen or TMCL protocol.
Offered in NEMA23, NEMA24, and NEMA34 flange-size, the closed-loop smart stepper motor delivers the efficiency of a servo drive while offering considerably more torque than servo motors of comparable size at low speeds. This makes them ideal for automation across industries where requirements regulating energy efficiency, size, cost, and noise are increasingly stricter. With 55Ncm - 700Ncm holding torque, the plug-and-play solution fits applications for lab automation, manufacturing, robotics, factory automation, and CNCs.
At the center of the product is the company’s own TMC5160 driver combined with the TMC4361 servo-controller IC, transforming digital information into perfect physical motion. Besides Trinamic’s popular features including increased energy-efficiency and quiet operation, the PD-1378 also offers advanced velocity control with SixPoint™ and S-Shaped ramping profiles.
Engineers can program the smart stepper motor with Trinamic’s Motion Control Language (TMCL), using the free and easy to use GUI, or with CANopen. Offered in different lengths and flange-sizes for best compatibility with various use cases.
