Brushless
This video is the Brushless DC Driver hookup tutorial for the MDC100-050101. The video involves nine easy steps to follow when hooking up a Brushless DC Driver. These steps will show how to connect the driver to the power supply and motor. The first step of the tutorial is removing the driver from the packaging and insuring that the manual is included with it. The second step involves securely connecting the power and ground leads to the terminal block. The third step required is to set the correct voltage on the power supply. After this has been accomplished, follow the fourth step and connect the driver to the power supply. The fifth step of the tutorial has the user connect the hall sensor leads to the terminal block. The sixth necessary step is to turn on the power supply and spin the shaft to make sure the hall sensors were connected properly. Connecting a wire between brake and ground is required in the seventh step to make the motor turn. In the eighth step, connect the motor phases to the terminal block. For the ninth and final step adjust the speed and current settings. After these nine steps the Brushless DC Driver should be ready to go.

Important features of the stepper motor, a high-quality product available at Anaheim Automation. A wide variety of low-cost motion control products are available to choose from, along with the help of a friendly and knowledgeable technical staff.

How do External Linear Stepper Actuators work? Unlike Captive and Non-Captive Stepper Actuators, external linear actuators use a nut in addition to the usual threaded leadscrew. As the motor rotates the screw, the nut translates the rotary motion into linear motion as it moves along the shaft of the leadscrew.

This video demonstrates the configuration of PCL501 controllers to control a 4 axis system. This will cover the setup, the connection and instruction set. Our goal will be to slew all four axis simultaneously

This video explains the fundamentals of microstepping compared to full-step excitation.

This video explains how the Captive Linear Actuator motor operates. An internal nut spins a threaded portion of the shaft. This is one feature that contributes to make the shaft come in and out of the motor. The other feature is the two notches that you see on both sides the shaft. These two notches "captures" the shaft and does not allow the shaft to rotate. Without the notch, it will cause the shaft to rotate in place.

This video demonstrates how a Threaded Linear Actuator motor runs. This is a normal step motor with a long threaded shaft. This type of stepper motor is typically used with a threaded nut that travels up and down the shaft.

This video shows how a Non Captive Linear Actuator moves. Both the shaft and the body needs to be secured for proper operation. When the shaft or motor body is not secured, it will spin freely. For this example, the shaft and motor body is secured (due to its weight and placement of wires), resulting it to move up and down the shaft
