The SilverPak 23D Plus is designed to help reduce overall design time and system cost for a wide array of step motor applications needing high torque and smooth motion. It is available in three body lengths: 2.65”, 3.16” and 4.03” and is capable of up to 294 oz-in of holding torque depending on the stack size of the motor. The SilverPak 23D Plus operates from 12 VDC to 75 VDC and the available phase current ranges from 0.3 Amps to 5 Amps peak. This integrated motor/driver combination boasts step resolutions ranging from 2x microstepping up to 256X microstepping and 4 selectable damping modes. The unit also features: optically isolated step, direction and disable/enable inputs; and under-voltage and over-temperature protection.

Configuring the SilverPak 23D Plus is simple as well. With built-in RS485 communication, the unit can be easily connected to a computer and configured via Lin Engineering’s graphical user interface (GUI), LinDriver. Configurable settings include, but are not limited to:

- Step resolution
- Run current
- Hold current
- Damping modes for smoother motion
- Selection of sensing the step pulses on the rising edge or falling edge
