Product Description

Pacific Scientific is one of the pioneering companies in the automation and motion industry that continues to meet the needs of their clients. The reason that company has persisted that long is because of the highly motivated and skilled engineers who take countless hours to research, design, and manufacture motion products that are powerful, affordable and multipurpose. That is not all, Pacific Scientific products are exceptionally durable, thanks to the high-quality products used.

With that, we can focus on one of the Pacific Scientific stepper drive model namely - 6410-020-N-N-N. We consider a few factors that you need to put into consideration to ensure optimum performance, reduce damage on the unit as well as prevent user injury.

That said, if you want to increase the allowable current of the 6410-020-N-N-N, use a fan to blow the air past the heat sink. If you are mounting your 6410-020-N-N-N stepper drive on a panel has neither a heat sink nor a cooling plate, you must provide one-inch distance between the side plate and any other object and also a minimum unobstructed space of 4 inches below and above.

If you want an optimum performance of your drive, it is extremely essential that you keep your supply voltage at a maximum of 75V and that applies even on a transient basis. Exceeding this supply voltage is regarded as one of the major causes of drive failure and this is something you can prevent. Something else worth noting is that the power input of the drive and the external capacitor is important since its PWM chopper drive needs pulse currents. Therefore, these two should be connected to each other by a twisted pair that measures a maximum length of 3 feet.
