The revolutionary new AlphaStep, AS and ASC Series of motors from Farnborough based Oriental Motor (UK) Limited has received considerable critical acclaim since its recent launch and, all are now available with a standard electromagnetic brake feature On all AlphaStep motors fitted with electromagnetic brakes, the brake is applied whenever the power supply is interrupted be it accidental (power failure), or otherwise

AS units are designed for 100-115V and 200-230V supplies while the ASC Series is designed for connection to 24V DC power supplies.

All AS models with electromagnetic brake are available in round shaft type, TH geared, PL geared and Harmonic Drive variants.
