Morgan Hill, CA-May 2011 - Lin Engineering is pleased to announce the release of the RoHS version of its popular stepper motor driver, the R325.  Combining compact size with high performance, the R325 can be utilized with stepper motors of many shapes and sizes.

The R325 microstepping driver is capable of output currents ranging from 0.3 to 3.0 amps peak while handling +15 to 48VDC of input voltage.  The R325 microstepping driver is capable of output currents ranging from 0.3 to 3.0 amps peak while handling +15 to 48 VDC input voltage. Selectable step resolutions from Full, 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x, 64x, 128x, and 256x microstepping are available. The R325 has hold current reduction capability with adjustable current and timeout settings. The R325 also features three optically isolated inputs and one optically isolated control output that can be used for step, direction, disable/enable, and fault detection.

The R325 features Pole Damping Technology™ (PDT). PDT enhances a step motor’s performance by creating a more accurate and smooth motion profile. PDT optimizes the microstepping performance of the step motor by outputting the correct amount of run and hold current to the motor, at the right time. Thus, each step will overcome the motor's natural tendency to want to “jump” towards the full step ON position.

For a limited time only, evaluation demo’s of the R325 are available; please contact Lin Engineering for further details:  408-919-0200 or sales@linengineering.com
