1.5A 2-Phase Stepper Drive (18-36 VDC Input)

1.5A 2-Phase Stepper Drive for Small Automation

The 2DM415 is a 1.5A 2-Phase Stepper Drive rated for 18-36 VDC supplies and a maximum output current of 1.50 A. It is the smallest drive in the 2DM range and is aimed at light axes that do not need the phase current of larger units. Its compact size and low current rating make it an excellent fit for benchtop and small-format machines.

Operation

Pulse/Dir command input is supported. The drive runs with low noise and low vibration, which matters in inspection equipment where background vibration can disturb measurement or vision systems mounted on the same frame.

Specification Summary

• Supply voltage: 18-36 VDC
• Maximum output current: 1.50 A
• Command mode: Pulse/Dir
• Protection: overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage

Overcurrent, overvoltage, and undervoltage protection protect the output stage on a low-voltage rail.

Applications

The drive suits Industrial Automation, packaging machinery, compact CNC equipment, robotics, automated handling mechanisms, textile machinery, printing machinery, and food processing lines where the connected motor draws 1.5 A or less.

Distributor Recommendation

This 1.5A 2-Phase Stepper Drive is ideal for small robot end-effectors, laboratory automation, and light conveying. Distributors can pair it with small-format stepping motors to cover the majority of compact positioning needs without oversizing the drive. Because it draws little current, several units can run from one small DC supply, which lowers the cost and footprint of multi-axis benches. When commissioning, set the motor current from the data plate and confirm the microstep resolution matches the controller’s pulse scaling. The low heat output also means it can be mounted in a sealed enclosure without forced cooling on most light-duty machines. When the drive is paired with a small stepper on a vibrating platform, adding a compliant coupling between motor and load prevents resonance from reaching the mechanical frame and keeps positioning repeatable.
