    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).
    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.

    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).

    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.
