Stepper motor driver
Leadshine MD2278
Analog Technology, max. 220VAC/7.8A
Download data sheetThe MD2278 is a high performance microstepping drive based on pure-sinusoidal current control technology. Owing to that and the self-adjustment technology (self-adjust current control parameters) according to different motors, the driven motors can run with less noise, generating less heat, move smoother and have better performance at higher speed than most of the drives on the market. In addition, the MD2278 has a built-in EMI filter which can make the driver operate with higher reliability. The driver is suitable for driving 2-phase and 4-phase hybrid stepping motors.

Suitable for a wide range of stepping motors of NEMA sizes 17, 23, 24 and 34 (42x42 mm to 86x86 mm). It can be used in various kinds of machines, such as X-Y tables, engraving machines, labeling machines, laser cutters, pick-place devices, and so on. Particularly well suited for applications where low noise levels, less heat development, high speed and high precision are desired.
