Parker: Stepper Drive (ViX Series)

The award-winning ViX intelligent digital servo drive from Parker Hannifin has now been joined by a high-performance microstep version. Like its servo equivalent, the ViX microstep drive uses field-oriented digital control technology to give enhanced dynamic performance with improved efficiency. Housed within an extremely compact case, ViX is suitable either for direct panel mounting or for attachment to a standard DIN rail using an optional adaptor. The ViX microstep drive is produced in two versions having current ratings of 2.8 A and 5.6 A RMS at motor bus voltages up to 80 VDC. User resolution is freely programmable between 400 and 51 200 steps/rev. Regardless of the programmed resolution, the motor always operates at maximum resolution for optimum smoothness over the entire speed range. The power stage features full PWM control for accurate microstepping performance.
