A new five phase stepper motor with encoder, built-in driver and CANOpen
interface has been launched by motion control specialists, Sanyo Denki, and is available in the UK from EAO.
This DPF Sanmotion stepper motors integrate the driver electronics into the motor package to produce a compact integrated system with less wiring that also includes a 500 PPR encoder to detect the actual position of the motor. The CANOpen interface offers connections to one of the best bus systems for industrial machinery and has a DSP-402 V2.0 profile. An RS-485 maintenance port offers independent test and diagnostics even if there is CAN network failure.
There are 25 different microstep divisions including the basic 0.72 deg step angle and multiples of 1.8 deg that allow it be used as a two phase motor.
With a line-up of four motors across 42mm and 60mm frame sizes the holding torques range from 0.28nm to 0.98nm, making these motors ideal for precision machinery applications.
