The 256 microstep MSST5-S also incorporates features such as automatic system status monitoring and display, antiresonance, torque ripple smoothing and command signal smoothing.
These high torque models draw a low current and have special bearings to enable operation over a wide range of temperatures from -40 to +70C.
"An unusual feature of the motors is that the front face where the shaft enters the unit is sealed against moisture etc, unlike most other motors where it is more usual for the rear end to be sealed", said Astrosyn Product Manager David Melder.
Available in NEMA frame sizes 17, 23 and 34, and with all standard electrical and performance specifications, the motors are ideal for applications in demanding environments where water, oil or dust is likely to be present.
