Rugged Motor Driver

The new upgraded rugged motor driver is more durable and will operate more reliably than the already rugged original.

Rugged motor driver. A rugged circuits rugged motor driver shield held the stepper in place the best of everything i tried but i m manually running the pwm and using arduino s stepper class so it is noisy. Rated for 30v and 2 8a peak current operation the rugged motor driver is the solution for powerful motion. Controls one bipolar stepper motor or two brush dc motors. The rugged motor driver can have its two phase outputs paralleled to double the current drive to a single dc motor.

One example is the 300 khz max40056 a bidirectional current sense amplifier with a high ac pwm edge 60 db rejection at 50 v and 500 v µs fig. However you must be careful to connect the two terminal outputs together in the right way and your code must make sure that the two phase outputs are always driving current in the same direction. The rugged motor driver uses two drv8801 h bridge ic s one for each motor output rather than a single l298 for both outputs. The rugged motor driver shield for arduino is a motor driver for two brush dc motors or one bipolar stepper motor.

Rugged circuits has released its latest shield the rugged motor driver for the arduino uno mega and duemilanove and compatible boards. I put the rotate code in a function so the operation of the program is similar between the easydriver code i have from the past and the rugged sample code. We also offer the more powerful and more rugged rugged motor driver see this application note if you need guidance on choosing the right motor driver for your project. Rated for 30v and 2 8a peak current operation the rugged motor driver is the solution for powerful motion.

This is one of the lowest cost medium power motor drivers available. The rugged motor driver shield is a motor driver for two brush dc motors or one bipolar stepper motor. This means that the power dissipation is spread out over two devices and over a wider area of the pcb rather than all being dissipated in one place. The rugged and compact motor starters of the sirius m200d system range represent the perfect solution for drive tasks without control cabinet e g.

Esi motion offers high performance revolutionary products for rugged applications in a compact package which is light scalable and incredibly powerful. For rugged motor control systems the recommendation is to use an in line fast settling time high bandwidth amplifier that rejects common mode transients.
