About This Series

Zaber's T-CD stepper motor controller is a microstep driver offering microstepping down to 128 microsteps per step. With a typical stepper motor having 200 steps per revolution, the T-CD stepper motor controller allows microstepping down to to 25600 microsteps per revolution. The T-CD stepper controller can be used to control any 2 phase stepper motor with continuous current draw up to 2.5A per phase. The T-CD controller can be used for stepper motor control of the following products which can be purchased separately:
Stepper Linear Actuators - NA Series
Stepper Motors - NM Series
Motorized Linear Stages - LML Series
Motorized Goniometers - LMG Series
T-CD stepper motor controllers can be daisy-chained with any T-Series products to a single serial or USB port.

  1. A knob allows the user to move the device at variable speeds.
  2. LEDs (not shown) indicate the power and communication status of the controller at a glance.
  3. Intelligent stepper motor driver with chopper drive circuitry and advanced motion algorithm.
  4. Control all units in the daisy-chain via serial port (with a T-DSUB9 adaptor) or USB (with a T-USBDC cable)
  5. Daisy-chain additional units without additional cables. Power can also be shared in the chain.
  6. Can control any bipolar stepper motor or actuator up to 2.5A/phase.
  7. Accepts 12V to 24V power supply (power is not daisy-chained so it is compatible with all T-Series).
  8. Easy to mount controller to panel, lab bench, or electronics cabinet.
