10+ Years R&D
1000+ Installations
Setup in <5 Minutes
Key Features
Technical capabilities designed for precision and reliability.
- SCU5-powered operation – receives both 24 VDC power and RS485 communication through a single pre-wired motor communication cable; no separate power supply needed
- High-precision 256 microstep driver – constant current driver with 256 microsteps per full step for smooth, vibration-free actuator motion
- Automatic parameter initialization – driver parameters are stored in the SCU5 controller memory and loaded to the driver on every power-up
- Ramp profile generation – generates acceleration/deceleration ramp profiles based on speed and acceleration settings for controlled actuator positioning
- Electronic stroke limits – configurable step counts for electronic stroke limits to protect the actuator from over-travel
- Servo center input – M8 6-pin connector supports a 24V NPN inductive proximity sensor for home/servo center positioning
- Limit switch inputs – two normally-closed limit switch inputs to restrict actuator travel in either direction; can be tied together for a single enable/disable switch
- Bi-polar stepper output – M12 4-pin female connector drives bi-polar 4-wire stepper motors up to 2.8A per coil
- Flexible mounting – compact aluminum enclosure mounts in a machine cabinet or on the machine frame; wall mounting brackets included
- Quick disconnect connectors – all connections use industrial M8 and M12 connectors for fast, reliable installation
Key Benefits
Measurable business value and operational improvements.
- Eliminate external power supplies – the MC QD 2A driver is powered directly from the SCU5 controller, reducing component count, cabinet space, and installation time
- Simplify wiring and commissioning – one pre-wired cable carries both power and communication; plug in and go with no separate DC supply to wire or fuse
- Stop losing precision at low speeds – 256 microstep resolution keeps the actuator smooth and vibration-free even at crawl speeds during fine positioning
- Prevent actuator over-travel damage – electronic stroke limits and hardware limit switch inputs provide dual-layer protection against mechanical damage
- Reduce downtime with quick disconnect – industrial M8/M12 connectors allow fast driver replacement without re-wiring; swap and run in minutes
