Def are not Steppers. They are DC servo motors just of lower rating to the higher power version.
check this out which is I believe the exact motor you have been looking at. Listen then tell me if thats a Stepper.. or not.!!

so leadshine are dc stepper motors with an encoder - with matching leadshine driver

clearpath are proper servo motors - with matching clearpath driver

the clearpath do look really good.

as with all of us I would love the best quality, has or datron quality. which comes at a price

although some very helpful info has been posted im no closer to knowing what I want LOL

You are absolutely right. I was wrong. This could not be stepper motor. They move absolutely nicely for sure. Its like music to my ears

does anyone have a price for the clearpath motors and drivers?

**Boyan Silyavski** · 24-02-2016

its on their web, just register, prices are there

**andy_con** · 24-02-2016

id be interested to hear from someone with a leadshine setup to get their on them

just trying to understand the clearpath stuff, so you don't need a separate driver?

you plug power and control signal directly into the motor?

You plug 2 cables, one for motion control signals, other for power. Thats it. The driver is integrated in the motor. Plus eventually USb cable so you could program the drive.

Its there on the picture at the link. You dont need separate servo drive. All you need is breakout board/motion control/ capable to output the signal to them. Look at the pdf and see what signal it accepts. Then you will know what board you need. Look manual at page 84 for step dir info
