Overview

The TMCM-1161 is a single-axis bipolar stepper motor controller/driver module designed for 24VDC operation with a load range of 10V to 30V. It integrates a motion controller and driver with advanced Trinamic technologies to support motor currents up to 2.8A (with peak capability up to 4A).

Why Choose This Part

The module features StallGuard2 for sensorless load monitoring and CoolStep for energy-efficient current scaling, reducing thermal load. Its integrated trapezoidal ramp generator offloads motion profile calculations from the host MCU while supporting robust RS485 and USB interfaces.

Applications

Laboratory Automation
Precise liquid handling and sample positioning using sensorless homing and stall detection.
Robotic Grippers
Compact chassis-mount design allows for integration into end-of-arm tooling with high torque control.
3D Printing and CNC
Utilizes SpreadCycle and CoolStep to provide quiet, efficient motion for high-resolution fabrication.
Industrial Valve Control
High-reliability RS485 communication for remote positioning of mechanical actuators.
