    These stepper motors are good for precise, repetitive movements, such as those made by the head of a 3D printer. Similar to the hands of a clock, their shaft turns in small, equal increments. When the shaft stops, it holds its position even when a counteracting force is applied to the load. You can control the position of the load without having to configure encoders or sensors. All are bipolar hybrid stepper motors, so the current can flow in both directions. This helps them deliver higher torque, precision, and efficiency than unipolar stepper motors.
    All motors require a controller and drive (not included).
    2 Shafts—When relative positioning is critical, such as coordinating motion in a multi-axis system, choose a motor with two shafts and mount an encoder (not included) on one of them. The encoder monitors the position of the shaft and reports back to the controller.
    Maximum Holding Torque—Holding torque is the force needed to move the shaft out of position when it is stationary. When the shaft is in motion, torque generally decreases as speed increases. Use a torque-speed curve to confirm which motor will work for your application. Click on a part number and select “Product Detail” to view the curve for a motor.
    Full Step Increment—Full step increment is the rotation of the shaft from one position to the next. A smaller full step increment means the rotor has more teeth, producing smoother and more precise motion. 1.8° is considered standard.

    Reduce the size and complexity of your stepper motor setup—these motors have a drive built in, so you don’t need to run cable to a standalone drive. The drive delivers power to the motor based on signals from a PLC, pulse generator, or other controller. These motors are good for precise, repetitive movements, such as those made by the head of a 3D printer. Similar to the hands of a clock, their shaft turns in small, equal increments for smooth motion. When the shaft stops, it holds its position even when a counteracting force is applied to the load. You can control the position of the load without having to configure encoders or sensors. All are bipolar hybrid stepper motors, so the current can flow in both directions. This helps them deliver higher torque, precision, and efficiency than unipolar stepper motors.
    Maximum Holding Torque—Holding torque is the force needed to move the shaft out of position when it is stationary. When the shaft is in motion, torque generally decreases as speed increases. Use a torque-speed curve to confirm which motor will work for your application. Click on a part number and select “Product Detail” to view the curve for a motor.
    Full Step Increment—Full step increment is the rotation of the shaft from one position to the next. A smaller full step increment means the rotor has more teeth, producing smoother and more precise motion. 1.8° is considered standard.
    Step Resolution—You can adjust the step resolution down to 1/256 of a full step, which translates to 51,200 microsteps per revolution. Increasing the number of steps directs an even more precise position and reduces the step-step-step motion to mimic a smooth, continuous rotation. The higher the number of step resolution settings, the greater the flexibility you have for determining the size of the motor’s step.

    To improve positioning accuracy, these stepper motors have a built-in encoder that monitors the real-time speed and position of the shaft. It sends that data to a controller (not included), which adjusts or stops the shaft if it isn’t in the right place.

    Multi-Axis Stepper Motor Electric Actuators

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Electric Actuators. Multi-Axis Stepper Motor Electric Actuators.
    Precisely drive both linear and rotary motion from one compact system. Often found in pick-and-place equipment, these actuators have two stepper motors. Each stepper motor drives one type of motion, and you can control them separately. When stopped, they hold their position even when a counteracting force is applied to the load.
    To confirm which actuator will work for your application, click on a part number and select "Product Detail" to view the torque-speed curve and dynamic load-speed chart. Holding torque is the force needed to move the actuator out of position when it’s stationary. When the actuator is rotating, torque generally decreases as speed increases. Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load an actuator can move linearly. If you increase the speed, the dynamic load capacity decreases.
    Travel distance per full step determines the control you have over the actuator's linear positioning. The smaller the measurement, the finer positioning control you have, but the more steps it will take to go the same distance.
    All actuators require a controller and two motor drivers (not included).
    Electric Actuators with Encoder—Actuators with an encoder are useful in applications where relative positioning is critical, such as coordinating motion between multiple actuators. The encoder monitors the position of the actuator and reports back to a controller (not included), which adjusts or stops the shaft if it isn’t in the right place.
    Full Step Increment—Full step increment refers to how much the actuator rotates when it takes a full step. A smaller full step increment means the rotor has more teeth, producing smoother and more precise motion. 1.8° is considered standard.

    Stepper Servomotors with Integrated Drive

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Servomotors. Stepper Servomotors with Integrated Drive.
    Simplify your servomotor setup—these servomotors have a built-in drive, removing the need for cable between the motor and drive. They create high torque at low speeds like traditional stepper motors but with greater torque performance and positioning reliability.
    These servomotors accept step and direction, position, speed, torque, or sequencing commands. Use a computer to set up and calibrate the motor to your system. After initial setup, use a separate controller, such as a programmable logic controller (PLC), microcontroller, or indexer. You can also store target positions with speeds and accelerations in the drive and then trigger each sequence with minimal input from a controller. The encoder relays distance, direction, and speed back to the servomotor. Based on this feedback, the servomotor dynamically adapts its movements to increase system efficiency.
    Maximum Holding Torque—Holding torque is the force needed to move the shaft out of position when it is stationary. Torque generally decreases as speed increases. Use a torque-speed curve to confirm which motor will work for your application. Click on a part number and select "Product Detail" to view the curve for a motor.

    Electric Slides

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Electric Slides. Electric Slides.
    A built-in stepper motor moves the load on these slides smoothly and precisely at high speeds, similar to an inkjet printer head. They’re often used in automated assemblies and other jobs requiring accurate, repeatable motion. The motor moves in small, equal steps and holds its position when stationary, so you don’t need encoders, sensors, or other position feedback devices. With a repeatability thinner than a single sheet of paper, the carriage hits the same spot every time. The slippery coating on the drive screw acts as a permanent dry lubricant, so you won’t need to add lubricant.
    All slides require a controller and driver (not included).
    Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load slides can move. If you increase the speed, the dynamic load capacity decreases. Use a load-speed chart to confirm which slides will work for your application. Click on a part number and select "Product Detail" to view the chart.
    Anti Backlash—Anti backlash slides minimize play, or how much space there is between the carriage and the drive screw. This keeps the carriage steady for precise positioning.
    Travel Distance per Full Step—Travel distance per full step determines the control you have over the slide's positioning. The smaller the measurement, the finer positioning control you have.

    Stepper Motors with Integrated Motion Control

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Stepper Motors. Stepper Motors with Integrated Motion Control.
    With a built-in controller and drive, these stepper motors come ready to program and operate. Connect them to a computer and use the free downloadable software to set them up. After that, the controller can store and run programs on its own. The controller communicates to the drive which directs the motor’s shaft to move in small, equal increments. When the shaft stops, it holds its position even when a counteracting force is applied to the load. All are bipolar hybrid stepper motors, which deliver greater torque, precision, and efficiency than other types of stepper motors.
    Encoders—When relative positioning is critical, such as coordinating motion in a multi-axis system, choose a motor with an encoder. The encoder monitors the position of the shaft and reports back to the controller.
    Maximum Holding Torque—Holding torque is the force needed to move the shaft out of position when it is stationary. When the shaft is in motion, torque generally decreases as speed increases. Use a torque-speed curve to confirm which motor will work for your application. Click on a part number and select “Product Detail” to view the curve for a motor.
    Full Step Increment—Full step increment is the rotation of the shaft from one position to the next. A smaller full step increment means the rotor has more teeth, producing smoother and more precise motion. 1.8° is considered standard.
    Step Resolution—You can adjust the step resolution down to 1/256 of a full step, which translates to 51,200 microsteps per revolution. Increasing the number of steps directs an even more precise position and reduces the step-step-step motion to mimic a smooth, continuous rotation. The higher the number of step resolution settings, the greater the flexibility you have for determining the size of the motor’s step.

    Clean Room Stepper Motors

    Deliver precise, repeatable motion in applications where contamination is a concern, such as semiconductor manufacturing. These motors meet the strictest clean room standards—all components are cleaned and assembled in a clean room and stored in vacuum sealed packaging. Made of treated aluminum, they minimize gas and particle emission in your clean room’s environment. They're often used in vacuum chambers, where low particle emission prevents the vacuum from degrading. Similar to the hands of a clock, the shaft on these stepper motors turns in small, equal increments for smooth motion. When the shaft stops, it holds its position even when a counteracting force is applied to the load. You can control the position of the load without having to configure encoders, sensors, or other position feedback devices. All are bipolar hybrid stepper motors, so the current can flow in both directions. This helps them deliver higher torque, precision, and efficiency than unipolar stepper motors.
    All motors require a controller and drive (not included).

    Hollow-Shaft Stepper Motors

    Route light beams, wire, or tubing through the hollow shaft of these stepper motors when space is tight.

    High-Temperature Stepper Motors

    The widest temperature range of any stepper motor we offer—these motors were designed with grease and magnets that are particularly good for temperatures up to 212° F. They also work well in low temperatures down to -40° F. Similar to the hands of a clock, their shaft turns in small, equal increments. When the shaft stops, it holds its position even when a counteracting force is applied to the load. You can control the position of the load without having to configure encoders, sensors, or other position feedback devices.

    Wet-Environment Stepper Motors

    To precisely position loads in automated systems that are frequently rinsed, these stepper motors are IP65 rated to seal out water. Their shaft turns in small, equal increments, similar to the hands of a clock. When the shaft stops, it holds its position even when force is applied to the load. This means you don’t need to configure encoders or sensors to control the position of the load. All are hybrid bipolar stepper motors, so they have more torque, precision, and efficiency than other stepper motors.
    These stepper motors require a controller and drive (not included).

    Stepper Motors with Linear Actuation

    Instead of a shaft, these stepper motors have a lead screw that converts rotational motion to linear motion. Moving in increments smaller than the thickness of a sheet of paper, they're ideal for applications that require fine motion control, such as positioning electrical components on a circuit board. They move in equal steps and hold their position when stationary, so they do not require encoders, sensors, or other position feedback devices. The lead screw is built into the motor, so there are fewer points of failure than systems that use a shaft coupling to connect the lead screw. All are bipolar hybrid stepper motors, which deliver greater torque, precision, and efficiency than other types of stepper motors.
    All motors require a controller and drive (not included).
    External Lead Screw—External lead screw stepper motors work similar to a traditional linear motion system; attach the load to the flanged nut, which travels back and forth along the lead screw.
    Pass-Through Lead Screw—Pass-through lead screw stepper motors give you the most design versatility because there are two ways to move your load: on the motor body or on the ends of the lead screw. The motor moves when the lead screw is fixed or the lead screw moves when the motor body is fixed.
    Travel Distance per Full Step—Travel distance per full step determines the control you have over the motor’s positioning. The smaller the measurement, the finer positioning control you have, but the more steps it will take to go the same distance.
    Dynamic Load Capacity—Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load a motor can move. If you increase the speed, the dynamic load capacity decreases. Click on a part number and select "Product Detail" to view the load-speed chart and confirm the motor will work for your application.
    Full Step Increment—Full step increment is the rotation of the shaft from one position to the next. A smaller full step increment means the rotor has more teeth, producing smoother and more precise motion. 1.8° is considered standard.

    A lead screw that converts rotational motion to linear motion sits inside the motor body for a compact footprint. Add a driver and controller to these actuators to repeatedly position loads with speed and precision. Moving in small, equal steps, these actuators are good for jobs requiring fine motion control, such as positioning electrical components on a circuit board. Their load stays in position even when a counteracting force is applied, so you don’t need encoders, sensors, or other position feedback devices.
    Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load an actuator can move. If you increase the speed, the dynamic load capacity decreases. Click on a part number and select "Product Detail" to view the load-speed chart and confirm the actuator will work for your application.
    Bipolar—All have bipolar hybrid stepper motors, which deliver greater torque, precision, and efficiency than other types of stepper motors.
    Nonrotating—The splined shaft keeps the rod from rotating as it extends and retracts.
    Travel Distance per Full Step—Travel distance per full step determines the control you have over the actuator's positioning. The smaller the measurement, the finer positioning control you have, but the more steps it will take to go the same distance.

    Stepper Servomotors

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Servomotors. Stepper Servomotors.
    Combine the high torque at low speeds that traditional stepper motors are known for with the greater torque performance and positioning reliability of a servomotor. They create rotary motion based on signals from a drive (sold separately). As these servomotors move, their encoder relays the shaft’s distance, direction, and speed back to the drive. The drive increases your system’s efficiency by taking the electrical signal from the encoder and dynamically adapting the motor’s movements, also accounting for inconsistent loads and unexpected forces.
    Maximum Holding Torque—Holding torque is the force needed to move the shaft out of position when it is stationary. Torque generally decreases as speed increases. Use a torque-speed curve to confirm which motor will work for your application. Click on a part number and select "Product Detail" to view the curve for a motor.

    Servomotor Drives

    Drives have several control modes that power the motor—sequencing, position, speed, or torque. You can program target positions with speeds and accelerations in the drive to trigger sequences with minimal input from a controller. You can also use a computer, programmable logic controller (PLC), microcontroller, or indexer to set motion parameters, tune the motor to your mechanical system, and stream multiple commands to the driver to carry out complex motion sequences.

    Dry-Running Electric Slides for Stepper Motors

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Electric Slides. Dry-Running Electric Slides for Stepper Motors.
    With PTFE sleeve bearings and a low-friction ball screw, these slides don’t require the mess and maintenance of lubrication but still give you precise positioning anywhere along the length of their stroke. Because they have sleeve bearings, they have fewer moving parts, so they perform better in dusty and wet environments than slides with ball bearings. They’re also better at handling impact and vibration.
    All slides require a stepper motor, driver, and controller (not included) to operate. As part of this system, they move in precise increments, like the head on an inkjet printer. These electric slides work well for automated assemblies and other applications that require fine, repeatable motion control.
    Travel Distance per Turn—Travel distance per turn, also known as screw lead, is how far the carriage moves with one rotation of the ball screw.

    Electric Slides for Stepper Motors

    Add your own stepper motor and controller to precisely move the ball screw and carriage smoothly at high speeds, like a head on an inkjet printer. With a repeatability of -0.01 to 0.01 mm—thinner than a strand of hair—the carriage hits the same spot every time. These electric slides work well for automated assemblies and other applications that require fine, repeatable motion control.
    The carriage rides along the inside of the rail, making these slides more compact than traditional carriages and guide rails. Made of steel with a U-shaped rail, these slides resist twisting forces that could affect their positioning. This also means they can be installed with only one end supported or with both ends overhanging. The same load rating applies no matter how the slides are oriented.
    Travel Distance per Turn—Travel distance per turn, also known as screw lead, is how far the carriage moves with one rotation of the ball screw.
