The stepper motor driver uses the point pulse signal received from the controller to drive the stepper motor, which is in the middle position in the entire control link: controller, stepper motor driver, stepper motor.
Stepper motor drives are divided into single-axis drives and dual-axis drives
What are the advantages of a dual-shaft stepper motor driver?
A single-axis stepper motor driver is a stepper motor driver that processes the pulse signal and transfers it to a stepper motor.
The dual-axis stepper motor driver is a motor drive to transfer the processed pulse signal to two stepper motors, that is, one drive drives two stepper motors, many manufacturers have chosen dual-axis drives because of the characteristics of dual-axis drives that can save a lot of business costs and are relatively easy to operate. So its advantages are also obvious.
What is the difference between single and dual shaft of stepper motor?
Single-shaft stepper motor generally means that the motor only has the front end cover out of the shaft, and the most widely used single-shaft stepper motor such as 57MP56D6 is a single-axis 57 two-phase stepper motor with a shaft diameter of 6.35.
Dual-shaft stepper motor generally means that the front and rear covers of the motor have an exit shaft, and the dual-shaft stepper motor is mainly used in applications such as encoder, first wheel, or synchronous transmission.
Single axis is to use a stepper motor, which can only move linearly.
Dual axis is to use two stepper motors, which can be operated in two axes.
