Sanyo Denki SANMOTION 42 and 56 mm stepper motors

RS Components has announced availability of 42 and 56 mm stepper motors in the SANMOTION range of high-torque, low-vibration hybrid stepper motors from Sanyo Denki.

Targeting machine builders and manufacturers of scientific and medical instruments, the two-phase stepper motors are available with unipolar or bipolar windings together with a range of matching microstepping DC drivers.

Typically used to precisely control moving parts in the x- and y-axes within a machine, Sanyo Denki stepper motors are widely used in many motion control applications - from the control of industrial inkjet printers and labelling machinery through to use in scientific measuring instruments and medical instrumentation for blood and DNA testing.

Key devices in the range include the slim SS2421-5041 42 mm stepper motor, which is aimed at space-critical applications and offers a highly compact stepping system in a package that is only 11.6 mm deep; and the 14 mm frame-size SH2141-5541, which is a miniature frame motor that is only 30 mm deep. The IP65-rated 56 mm motors - such as the SP2566-5160 - are suitable for harsh environments that are subject to dust and water, such as food processing machinery and equipment that is designed for operation outside.
