Makerbase MKS TMC5160-PRO Stepper Driver - 60V 6A

The Makerbase MKS TMC5160-PRO Stepper Driver is a high-performance, ultra-quiet motor driver designed for demanding motion control applications. Supporting high voltage (up to 60V), high current, and high-speed operation, this driver is ideal for advanced 3D printers, CNC systems, and automation projects. It features two selectable drive modes — SPI mode (default) for full firmware control, and Standalone mode for hardware jumper configuration — offering flexibility for various setups.

Built with a 100V withstand voltage power filter capacitor and TVS spike absorption protection, the MKS TMC5160-PRO ensures stable and reliable performance even in high-voltage environments. The integrated DIAG1 signal supports sensorless homing functionality, allowing precise infinite position return-to-zero operation. Compatible with popular firmware such as Marlin and Klipper, and suitable for SPI-enabled plug-in motherboards, this driver delivers powerful, efficient, and smooth stepper motor control.
