Nippon Pulse debuts new bipolar rotary hybrid stepper motors
Nippon Pulse has introduced its new PJE series of bipolar hybrid stepper motors, which are available in sizes from 20 to 86 mm in diameter (NEMA sizes 8 to 34). These new motors round out the company’s hybrid motor line, joining the existing PJP unipolar hybrid motor series. The PJE series provides high torque in […]
Compact stepper motor with high torque from Nanotec
The new SCA5618 stepper motor from Nanotec offers 15 to 30% more torque than comparable motors with a 56-mm flange (NEMA 23). Thanks to an improved stator geometry and optimized magnetic materials, the rotor inertia is no higher than that of the predecessor model. The SCA5618 is available in three lengths and with two different […]
NEMA 24 integrated motors with dual-port communications from Applied Motion
Two new NEMA 24 frame integrated motors from Applied Motion Products feature dual-port communications for connecting to the industrial EtherNet/IP network of a plant or machine. By incorporating two M12 EtherNet/IP connectors instead of just one on each axis, the SWM24IP-3DE Integrated Stepper Motor and TXM24IP-IDG StepSERVO Integrated Motor support more efficient network topologies such […]
Why use a gearbox with a stepper motor?
Stepper motors are known for their accurate positioning capabilities and high torque delivery at low speeds, but they require careful sizing to ensure the motor matches the load and application parameters, to minimize the possibility of lost steps or motor stalling. Adding a gearbox to a stepper motor system can improve the motor’s performance by […]
Compact step motors with high torque for space-limited applications
Applied Motion Products offers compact step motors in NEMA sizes 8, 11 and 14 for applications with limited space including medical devices, 3D printers, analytical and medical instruments, robotics and others.
