    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.

    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.

    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.

    Square Body

    A stepper motor and gearbox in one, choose these motors when you want high torque but don’t have space for a large motor. Their planetary gearbox efficiently transmits power to increase torque while reducing speed. These motors are great for motion similar to a 3D printer head, using precise, repetitive movements. Like the hands of a clock, their shaft turns in small, equal increments. When the shaft stops, it holds its position, even if there’s a counteracting force on the load. You can control the position of the load without configuring encoders or sensors. All are bipolar hybrid stepper motors, which deliver greater torque, precision, and efficiency than other types of stepper motors.
    Holding torque is the force needed to move the shaft out of position when it’s 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.
    All motors require a controller and driver (not included).

    DC Servomotors

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Servomotors. DC Servomotors.
    Often used for small automation applications, such as pick-and-place machines, these servomotors deliver lots of power in a small package. With accurate positioning and fine motor control, they create rotary motion based on signals from a drive (sold separately). The commands for speed and positioning are the same as those used for stepper motors, so you can upgrade your system without the hassle of reprogramming it. 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 Torque—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
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Servomotor Drives. DC Servomotors.
    Drives have several control modes that power the motor—step and direction, position, speed, or torque. Use a computer to set motion parameters and calibrate the servomotor to your system. After initial setup, you can use a separate controller, such as a programmable logic controller (PLC), microcontroller, or indexer. A brake resistor protects the drive from regenerated electricity as the motor slows or stops.

    A built-in drive simplifies your servomotor setup, removing the need for cable between the motor and drive. DC servomotors are often used for small automation applications, such as pick-and-place machines, because they deliver lots of power in a small package. This system includes a motor, encoder, and drive for accurate positioning and fine control over speed and position.
    These servomotors use the same step and direction commands as a stepper motor, so you can upgrade your current stepper motor system with this system. 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. 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 Torque—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.

    AC Servomotors

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Servomotors. AC Servomotors.
    Good for high speeds with fast accelerations, these servomotors are often used in automated assembly, material handling, and packaging applications. These motors require a low amount of force to stop or start, commonly referred to as low inertia, so they respond to position commands quickly and can rapidly accelerate and decelerate.
    Pair a servomotor and drive (sold separately) for accurate speed and position control. The absolute encoder built into the motor knows the exact position of the shaft at startup and relays distance, direction, and speed back to the drive. Based on this feedback, the drive dynamically adapts the motor’s movements and increases system efficiency. A brake resistor protects the drive from regenerated electricity as the motor slows or stops.
    Maximum Torque—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.

    Drive

    Keypad

    Drives can be quickly set up and programmed to control position, speed, and torque from a computer or programmable logic controller (PLC). These drives only require one cord to connect to the motor and encoder. Once connected, the drive recognizes the motor and automatically begins startup. Use the keypad to start the motor, run diagnostics, and edit motion parameters directly from the drive. Drives also include safe torque off (STO) functionality, which prevents power from going to the motor during an emergency stop or maintenance.

    Servomotor Gear Boxes
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Servomotor Gear Boxes. AC Servomotors.
    Gear boxes reduce the speed and increase the torque output of your motor. These planetary gear boxes have low backlash, which allows them to maintain a high-level of precision when transmitting motion from your servomotor. They also have hardened steel gears that withstand fast accelerations in dynamic applications. They come permanently lubricated, so there is no need to add or maintain oil or grease.
