Compact step motors with high torque for space-limited applications
MOONS' offers compact stepper motors in NEMA 8, NEMA 11, and NEMA 14 for applications with limited space including medical devices, 3D printers, analytical and medical instruments, multi-axes robotics, and others. The compact step motor line features lightweight and low-cost motors with high torque up to 22 oz-in at low speed, providing high step accuracy and resolution, as well as low vibration and noise levels. These motors are an ideal choice for machinery lines and medical equipment. The compact step motor line includes: • NEMA size 8 in three lengths (1.16in. 1.56 in. and 1.83 in.) and holding torque up to 8.2 oz-in. • NEMA size 11 in three lengths (1.22 in. 1.57 in. and 2.01 in.) and holding torque up to 24.08 oz-in. • NEMA size 14 in three lengths (1.07 in. 1.42 in. and 2.17 in.) and holding torques up to 56.65 oz-in. These hybrid-type small motors offer the highest torque density in their frame size. With a 1.8˚ step angle and being RoHS compliant, units are available in both single and double-shaft versions. To meet customers’ requirements for specific connectors and couplings, MOONS’ provides its compact motors with customized cable and connector assemblies and a variety of options including flats, thru-holes, custom lengths, and more. In addition to the compact step motors, MOONS' provides a range of stepper drives that optimize torque and speed performance while ensuring smooth and quiet operation. The miniature SR3-Mini stepper drive is easy to set up with just a screwdriver, making it ideal for basic step and direction control applications. The STF stepper drive family, on the other hand, offers onboard programming and network communications. All software tools for these drives are free and easy to use, including Q Programming, which enables the storage and execution of motion profiles in stand-alone mode or via digital I/O.
