Introduction: Unlocking Maximum Torque and Diagnostics
The Makerbase MKS TMC2240 V1.0 is the professional-grade stepper motor driver for makers building large-format 3D printers, powerful CNC machines, or any system requiring high torque and operational reliability. Operating safely up to 36VDC and delivering a powerful 2.1A RMS (3A Peak), the TMC2240 offers significantly more headroom than standard 2209 drivers.
This driver provides the ultimate combination of high power, silent operation (StealthChop2™), and full diagnostic capabilities via SPI communication, allowing your machine’s firmware to constantly monitor driver status and prevent potential failures.
Key Features and High-Performance Advantages
Technical Feature | Benefit for the High-End Maker |
High Voltage (Up to 36V) | Compatible with high-voltage power supplies, providing higher torque at higher speeds—crucial for large, fast-moving axes in CNC or large printers. |
High Current Output | Delivers 2.1A RMS continuous current (3.0A peak), ensuring your NEMA motors have the power they need for demanding tasks without skipping steps. |
SPI/UART Communication | Supports both serial protocols, with SPI offering full bi-directional diagnostic feedback for error reporting and real-time current control directly from the host board. |
StallGuard4™ (Sensorless Homing) | Integrated technology allows the motor to act as an endstop, simplifying the mechanical build and eliminating the need for separate limit switches on the X/Y axes. |
CoolStep™ & Diagnostics | Advanced features like CoolStep (intelligent power saving) and integrated over-temperature/short-circuit protection and reporting maximize driver life and overall system reliability. |
Silent Operation | Features StealthChop2™ to ensure high-performance motion remains virtually silent, regardless of the high currents involved. |
