Micromini hybrid stepper motors launched by Astrosyn

Astrosyn International Technology is introducing a new size 8 range of miniature hybrid stepper motors to complement their popular size 11 series. This continues the trend towards miniaturisation of these powerful precision motors. Their compact size combined with high torque, smooth movement and low inertia opens up many new applications where space is at a premium.

There are two models in the size 8 range, which can be configured for unipolar or bipolar drives. The smallest of the size 8 models has a body length of only 30mm, while delivering a holding torque of 1.7Ncm. The larger model provides a 3.2Ncm holding torque but is still only 47mm long.

Simon Hunt, Astrosyn's technical sales director, says: "The compact size and high power of these units makes them ideal for applications such as modelling, gaming equipment, robotics, laboratory sampling, and medical instrumentation. They are also suitable for controlling CCTV cameras in security applications."

All the models offer high accuracy with a step angle of 1.8 deg.
