DIMENSIONS
If you’re looking for big time step -
per performance from a small driver, 
the MBC12101 is your answer.  
This powerful microstepping driver 
provides excellent torque in a com -
pact and low profile encloser.  The 
MBC12101 is also very easy to use.  
It features rugged terminal blocks, 
a rotary pot for current settings, and 
a visible silkscreen for easy installa -
tion.
Versatile as well as powerful, the 
MBC12101 has a wide amperage 
range. It is designed to handle small 
stepper motors rated as low as 1.5 
Amps/phase, mid-sized steppers 
such as NEMA 23’s and 34’s, as well 
as larger motors with current ratings 
up to 10.0 Amps.  It operates from a 
DC voltage of 20-80 Volts, making 
it a great fit for almost any stepper 
application.
MBC12101 - Microstep Driver
MBC12101 - Microstep Driver
• Compact Stepper Motor Driver
• 1.5 - 10.0 Amp Current Range
• 2000 Steps per Revolution
• Optically Isolated Inputs
• Short Circuit Protection
• 20 - 80VDC Bus Voltage
• Automatic Current Reduction
• Sinking and Sourcing Inputs
• Power and Clock LEDs
• CE Certified and RoHS Compliant
The MBC12101 features opti
-
cally isolated inputs that are 3.5 
- 8.6VDC compatible.  The clock 
input can be set to receive either 
sinking or sourcing clock signals 
at frequencies up to 100KHz.  The 
driver also features direction con -
trol, motor on/off capabilities, and 
a built in short circuit and miswire 
shutdown protection.
The MBC12101 is a bipolar type 
driver designed for use with 4, 6, 
or 8 lead stepper motors, making 
it compatible for series and paral -
lel installations.  The driver has a 
2000 steps per revolution or 0.18° 
per step resolution,with respect to 
a 1.8° stepper motor.  It also has a 
motor current reduction feature that 
will help keep stepper motors cool 
at standstill, and LEDs that indicate 
power and pulses being received. Ideal Applications:
Automated machinery or processes 
that involve food, cosmetic, or med-
ical packaging, labeling, or tamper-
evident requirements, cut-to-length 
applications, electronic assembly, 
robotics, factory automation, 
special filming and project effects, 
medical diagnostics, inspection 
and security devices, conveyor and 
material handling systems, metal 
fabrication (CNC machinery), pump 
flow control, XY and rotary tables, 
equipment upgrades or wherever 
precise positioning or speed control 
is required.
