    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).
    8 Wire Leads—Motors with 8 wire leads can be connected to a drive in two different ways, so you can choose between more speed or more torque. Depending on your application, you could configure the motor for high torque at low speeds or for low torque at high speeds.
    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.

    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.
