Permanent magnet steppers offer easy actuation
12V DC actuators offer advantages in a wide range of applications, such as valve control, antenna adjustment, emission control and in medical and laboratory instruments.
The motor's small size means that output power does not have to be compromised where size constraints only allow the fitting of a size 17 device.
Rare-earth magnets and slightly extended rotors combine to give an exceptional torque performance.
"A further advantage is that the unit is significantly cheaper than larger models of comparable torque", added Simon Hunt, Astrosyn's Technical Sales Director.
The MY6405-01 has a length of 50mm and is available with a step angle of 1.8 degrees.
Rapid acceleration profiles resulting from the low rotor inertia make this motor ideally suited for applications in office automation, cash handling, and x-y pick and place systems.
