SureStep™ Stepping Systems for Affordable Motion Control

High performance microstepper drives with high torque stepper motors

• Stepper Drives (Prices start at $149)
• Stepper Motors (Prices start at $19)
• Power supplies (Prices start at $109)
• Cables (to interface the stepping motors to the stepping drive)
• Configuration Software
  

SureStep™ is an open-loop stepping system that provides simple and accurate control of position and speed and offers a cost-effective solution for motion control applications requiring lower power.

• Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) or other indexers and motion controllers act as a stepper motor controller to send step pulses and direction signals that are received by the stepper drive to allow very precise motion control.
  
  

• The SureStep stepper motor, microstepper drive and power supply products provide a low-cost, reliable, high quality solution to answer your positioning and motion control needs.

What's New ...

SureStep, AutomationDirect's open-loop stepper positioning system, now includes 2 new advanced stepper drives, 5 more motors and 3 additional power supplies. The advanced drives are software configurable and offer more functionality and higher current capability. The new drives include SureStep Pro configuration software and cable for setup and programming. SureStep stepper drives start at $149. Stepping motors in standard NEMA sizes (17, 23, & 34) now include bi-polar models with output torques ranging from 61 oz-in. to 1291 oz-in. Stepper motors are priced from $19. The linear power supplies offer full load outputs of 32, 48 and 70 VDC and supplies are electronically overload protected and electrically isolated. These open frame power supplies start at $109. A typical two-axis stepper system is only $511.
