Oriental Motor has announced the release of a new compact high performance stepping motor and driver package.
The RBK series comprises a two-phase stepping motor and dc input micro step driver. The micro step function divides the basic step angle of the motor (1.8 deg/step) by up to 128 without the use of a reduction mechanism or other mechanical element. There are 16 different resolutions available from 1.8deg/step to 0.0140625deg/step.
A vibration suppression function is also included which reduces the risk of missteps due to vibration.
A wide voltage range driver is used with a range of 20 to 75 vdc and 4.5 A/phase. This enables the series to operate from a wide range of power sources.
The motor is available in two frame sizes - 56.4mm and 85mm - and is certified to IP65 standard of moisture and dust protection.
The RBK series conforms to UL, CSA and CE safety standards.
