Five-phase positioning
Five-phase construction with a 0.72° full step supports fine incremental motion across the series.
High torsional rigidity and constant torsional backlash over the entire gearbox service life ensure consistently high performance
High torque density thanks to high performance and short design
Highest quality standards for a long service life and extended maintenance intervals
The SP Vacuum Five-Phase Stepper Motor Series combines a 0.72° step angle with 28, 42 and 60 mm frame options. Specify the optional HV construction when operation down to 1 × 10−5 Pa is required.
Five-phase construction with a 0.72° full step supports fine incremental motion across the series.
Specify the optional HV construction for operating pressures down to 1 × 10−5 Pa.
Choose 28, 42 or 60 mm frames with single- or double-shaft variants and holding torque up to 2.10 N·m.
Select the frame size, motor length and shaft form from the models below. Vacuum service requires the optional/custom HV configuration; confirm the target pressure and operating conditions when ordering.
