With RS PRO hybrid stepper motors, high torque can be achieved even with low speeds._x000D_ Depending on the type of application required, this range of stepper motors can achieve various speeds, torque and power outputs. This can be achieved by wiring them as either series, parallel or unipolar, offering a highly versatile and reliable stepper motor._x000D_ Features and benefits_x000D_ Hybrid technology combining VR and PM motor characteristics_x000D_ High torque with low speed_x000D_ Suitable for a range of applications_x000D_ Lightweight yet durable design_x000D_ 8 lead configuration_x000D_ Holding torque: 2.3 Nm (Unipolar), 2.8 Nm (Parallel), 2.8 Nm (Series)_x000D_ Stepping angle: 1.8°_x000D_ Rated voltage: 3.64 V (Unipolar), 2.54 V (Parallel), 5 V (Series)_x000D_ Applications_x000D_ A stepper motor is a type of DC motor with a shaft that turns in precise steps by dividing full rotations via multiple coils that are organised in phases. Stepper motors are ideal for applications requiring discrete and precise torque or movement. These motors offer a variety of driver modes including wave drive, full step, half step and micro-step and can be operated via stepper controllers. Stepper motors are commonly used in applications such as:_x000D_ CNC machines_x000D_ Medical scanners_x000D_ Printers_x000D_ Disc drives_x000D_ Digital cameras_x000D_ FAQs_x000D_ What is the stepping rate?_x000D_ This stepper motor features a 1.8° step angle, equivalent to 200 steps per revolution._x000D_ What is the length of the shaft?_x000D_ The length of the shaft is 28.9mm._x000D_ What is the max radial force?_x000D_ The max radial force for this model is 220 N (20 MM from front flange)._x000D_ What is the max axial force?_x000D_ The max axial force for this model is 60 N._x000D_ What is the difference between unipolar and bipolar?_x000D_ Unipolar stepper motors operate with a single winding with a center tap per phase. Each section of the winding is switched on for each direction of the magnetic field. Unlike the unipolar stepper motor, the bipolar stepper motor has two leads per phase, neither of which are common._x000D_ What are the differences between series and parallel winding?_x000D_ Motors can be wired as either series or parallel, depending on the type of application that is required. A series wired motor generally provides increased stall torque that decreases as more velocity is applied. Motors wired in parallel tend to maintain a constant torque at a higher velocity, however, this is usually lower than series._x000D_ The winding configuration or a stepper motor plays a vital role in providing the required operating speed, torque and power outlet.
