CNC Linear Controller with Power Supply
This stand-alone controller features an integrated keypad for easy programming and controls the operation of the connected stepper motor—no external computer or CNC system is required.
An 8-pin mini-DIN cable allows multiple controllers to be connected in a daisy-chain configuration. Each unit can send and receive signals to operate in sequence, enabling multi-axis motion without a master CNC controller. The controllers can also interface with existing CNC systems for more complex setups.
Each controller supports two independent programs, with up to 40 steps per program. Each step can define travel distance, direction, speed, and whether to pause or automatically continue to the next command.
The linear controller can also be daisy-chained with Sherline’s rotary controller, enabling combined linear and rotary motion. This simplifies more advanced tasks—such as gear cutting—without requiring any G-code knowledge beyond the simple keypad inputs.

Power Supply
Power Supply Specifications:
The included power supply is compatible with 110–240 VAC and automatically adjusts to local voltage, making it suitable for use worldwide. (Earlier versions of this product included a 110 VAC-only power supply.)

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.
