Operates on 24-48VDC input with current ratings 2-6A per phase. Features NEMA 23 frame mounting, dual shaft design for encoder feedback integration, and 200 steps/revolution base resolution. Interfaces via 4-wire or 6-wire configurations with pulse/direction control signals from motion controllers or PLCs. Incorporates laminated steel rotor construction with rare-earth magnets for enhanced holding torque and positional accuracy. Common applications include precision positioning systems, CNC machinery, automated assembly equipment, semiconductor manufacturing tools, and laboratory automation requiring repeatable sub-degree angular positioning without feedback loops. ## Function Precision step motor designed for high torque output, features closed-loop control with encoder feedback for accurate positioning. Connects via standard NEMA 23 mount for easy integration into motion control systems. Interfaces through standard electrical connectors to controllers and drives. Commonly used in CNC machines, robotics, and automated assembly lines for precise motion control. Capable of micro-stepping to enhance smoothness and accuracy of movement. Utilizes advanced magnetic design to optimize thermal performance and efficiency in various industrial applications. ## Platform Designed for industrial automation systems requiring precise positioning control, commonly integrated into CNC machines, robotic assemblies, packaging equipment, and manufacturing production lines. Operates with step motor controllers and drives that provide digital pulse commands for incremental angular movement. Interfaces through standard electrical connections for power and control signals from PLCs, motion controllers, or dedicated step motor drives. Mounting configuration allows direct coupling to mechanical loads, gear reducers, or belt drive systems. Suitable for applications demanding accurate positioning without feedback sensors in controlled load environments. ## Application Precision positioning in automated machinery, robotics motion control systems, CNC machines for metal and wood fabrication, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and laboratory automation devices requiring precise control of linear or rotary motion. ## Accessories Requires 24VDC power supply, step/direction controller or indexer, shielded motor cables with proper gauge for current rating. Mounting hardware includes face mount or NEMA frame adapter brackets. Optional encoder feedback requires 5VDC supply and differential line driver interface. Motor connections via 8-pin connector or flying leads depending on model variant. Brake models require separate 24VDC brake power supply and brake control relay. ## Interface The step motor uses a quick disconnect (IDC) cable for motor wiring with standard wire color coding: Red/Black (B-), Red/White (B+), Green (A-). Interface includes keypad connector pins for setup and configuration, allowing adjustments of motor current, unloaded anti-resistance, and inductance via keypad commands. Compatible with 17 to 42 frame step motors, supporting up to 8A motor current with microstepping control. The system interfaces through 120V AC microstepping drive electronics, requiring connection to a compatible Danaher Motion SmartStep drive mainframe or equivalent power/controller. ## Images - - - -
