Mclennan Servo Supplies Ltd, a motion component distributor and manufacturer of mechatronics solutions, has added the new Portescap h3 series enhanced performance hybrid stepper motor to its range of motion control products.
Thanks to its neodymium high energy rotor magnets, Sigmax enhanced flux focussing stator and high heat-loss aluminium housing, the NEMA 17, 23 and 34 frame sized motors deliver a 15% to 40% higher output torque with 10% lower power consumption when compared to other high-performance hybrid stepper motors.
The h3 series also features larger diameter, sealed ball race bearings with an improved bearing retainer and O-ring design, to provide higher axial and radial shaft loading, prevent bearing spinout, eliminate axial play and reduce motor noise.
Available in a choice of stack lengths with unipolar and bipolar windings, the 200 step/rev h3 range can provide improved speed/torque performance with higher throughput and duty cycle capability as a form-fit replacement for existing stepper motor applications; or can offer the motion system designer space savings for high performance precision motion in a range of automation applications - including medical/biotech, textiles, packaging, electronics, office automation and vending.
Manufactured in Portescap’s ISO 9002 certified Malaysian production facility, the range has a competitive pricing structure and is available with customised windings, connectors, pinions and shaft modifications in relatively small volumes.
