Features

Benefits

With holding torques to 5700 oz-in

(356 lb-in), the N and K Series
provide the highest torques per
frame size in the industry more
than 3 and 5 phase designs.

Optimized magnetics provide

maximum performance in small
envelope, reducing space required
for the motor.

Improved torque linearity (above

rated current) provides high peak
torque capability (duty cycle
dependent, contact factory)

Acceleration boost to move loads

even faster. Provides more torque
for intermittent duty applications.

High torque at moderate speeds

Cost effective alternative to servo

motors

Low detent torque harmonic

Provides smoother microstepping

performance

K Series uses patented Sigmax

technology to develop 25% more
torque than N Series

Select from broad performance

range to meet your requirement

Runs cooler than comparable

steppers using identical drive
parameters

Longer, more reliable motor life

backed by a two year warranty

SPLASHPROOF CONSTRUCTION-TERMINAL BOARD CONNECTIONS

(mm) in

Special rotor design for high

acceleration

Move/position loads fast

Rugged housingless square

frame

Efficient use of volume for optimal

magnetic circuit

Sealed per IP65

For splashproof requirements

Outer bearing races wont turn

front locked (in steel insert) and
rear held by O-ring

Long life bearings also prevents

axial shaft movement for encoder
applications

Extensive selection of shaft

configurations, terminations,
standard and special windings

Match your requirements

Two phase design

Compatible with most drivers,

smoother microstepping, and lower
input power required vs. three
phase for same torque

Optional encoder mounting

provisions

Optimizes control scheme

Refer to Selection Guide for more information.

With rated current applied.

Windings at 130C and motor in still air at 40C (without heat sink). Operation of these motors
above rated current may cause demagnetization. Contact factory.

Small signal inductance as measured with impedance bridge at 1 kHz, 1 amp.

Thermal resistance measured with motor hanging in still air (unmounted).
