36V 2-Phase Stepper Drive (24-36 VDC Input)

36V 2-Phase Stepper Drive for Compact Machines

The 2DM442 is a 36V 2-Phase Stepper Drive built around a 24-36 VDC supply and a maximum output current of 4.2 A. The 36 V ceiling keeps the drive compatible with common low-voltage panels while still delivering enough phase current for two-phase stepping motors in compact machines.

Command and Speed

Pulse/Dir control is supported, and the drive runs with low vibration to keep traverse motion smooth. On compact CNC equipment, the quieter output reduces resonance in the mechanical loop, which can improve contour accuracy at moderate feed rates and reduces audible noise on the shop floor.

Electrical Protection

• Supply voltage: 24-36 VDC
• Maximum output current: 4.2 A
• Command modes: Pulse/Dir, CW/CCW
• Protection: overcurrent, overvoltage, undervoltage

Overcurrent, overvoltage, and undervoltage protection are implemented at the output stage. Combined with the low supply ceiling, this makes the 2DM442 a straightforward component for panels that already carry 24 VDC control power.

Applications

The drive is suitable for Industrial Automation, packaging machinery, compact CNC equipment, robotics, automated handling mechanisms, textile machinery, printing machinery, and food processing.

Selection Notes

Choose this 36V 2-Phase Stepper Drive when the connected motor draws 4.2 A or less. The 24-36 VDC window fits low-voltage bus architectures common in smaller production cells, helping distributors stock one model for many compact machines. Because the drive runs on a low-voltage rail, it can share the same supply as sensors and small PLC I/O, simplifying panel wiring and reducing the number of separate power feeds. When commissioning, confirm the motor’s per-phase current and phase inductance match the drive settings, and use shielded cable for the step/direction signals to keep noise out of the pulse train. Because the 36 V ceiling keeps switching losses low, the drive stays cool even in a densely populated panel, which simplifies thermal management for the machine builder.
