Product Description
Back to Linear Controllers
Linear Controller without Power Supply
The stand-alone controller is fully programmable via its built-in keypad and manages the operation of the connected stepper motor.
An 8-pin mini-DIN cable allows multiple controllers to be linked in a “daisy-chain” configuration. The controllers can signal each other to operate in sequence, enabling complex, multi-axis movements without the need for a computer or master CNC controller. They can also be used alongside existing CNC systems. Each controller can store two independent programs, with up to 40 steps per program. Each step can define distance, direction, speed, and whether the program pauses or proceeds automatically to the next step.
Sherline’s linear controller can also be daisy-chained with the rotary controller, allowing combined rotary and linear operations in sequence. This setup simplifies advanced tasks—such as gear cutting—without requiring CNC programming knowledge beyond what is entered via the keypad.

Controller Power Supply Information:
The optional power supply is compatible with 110-240 VAC and automatically switches between voltages for use in regions with 220-240V mains power. (The original version of this power supply was 110 VAC only.)

Stepper Motor
Sherline stepper motors feature shafts at both ends, allowing for manual control via a handwheel, if desired. Flats are ground onto each shaft to accommodate set screws for the handwheel and coupling. For use with a Sherline motor mount, ensure that the shaft entering the coupling has a flat machined or ground onto it where the set screw secures it. Failure to do so may damage the shaft, making the coupling difficult to remove. For non-Sherline applications, the flat may not be necessary.
Powerful Dual-Shaft Motors

P/N 67127: This motor comes pre-wired with six leads in a connector that plugs directly into Sherline's linear or rotary controllers. Both our CNC system and driver box include four pre-wired cables with 5-pin plugs that match the P/N 67127 stepper motor. Simply plug each stepper motor into the corresponding axis cable for an easy setup.
-
P/N 67130: This motor features six raw wire leads, and does not include a connector, so that it can be used with non-Sherline controllers that have a different pin configuration.
Note: Due to the lack of standardization in the industry, wire colors can vary between suppliers. If using a connector not supplied by Sherline we recommend using a continuity checker to identify which wire connects to each pin on the DIN plug. Typically, the black and white (or tan) wires are connected to the center pins, but other colors may vary. See our specifications sheet for wiring diagram.
