STEPPING TOWARDS AUTOMATION WITH NORELEM’S
EXPANDED STEPPER MOTORS RANGE
norelem, the global standard components
specialist, has boosted its range of stepper
motors, with the three most popular sizes
NEMA 17, NEMA 23 and NEMA 34 now
available to order online.
With Industry 4.0 well underway,
norelem’s new stepper motors enable a wide
range of applications to be automated.
Whether its rotating robotic arms,
automating milling machinery, or moving
and sorting parts on production lines,
engineers and manufacturers can use the
components for a variety of processes.
The new motors are highly precise,
efficient and maintenance-free, making them
economical and cost-effective. They are fitted
with all the typical operating modes of
regular positioning systems and control,
including automatic setup, referencing,
parameter and program input.
Marcus Schneck, CEO of norelem, said,
“We know that automation is key to many
processes and to driving efficiency in
engineering and manufacturing. This is why
we’ve added the three most common stepper
motor sizes to our range.
“Adaptable to almost any control system,
our standardised products can be integrated
into new and legacy machinery. We’ve made
them easy to integrate too, with software for
the motors downloadable straight from the
norelem website, and different interfaces for
the components, such as Profibus and CAN,
available in the range.”
All of norelem’s stepper motors are quiet
and provide low-resonance running without
step losses. They also enable a constantly
controllable operation with self-monitoring
of the system and voltage monitoring of the
output stage.
The components are also designed to
withstand harsh environmental settings. All
motors are equipped with a robust EMC
(electromagnetically compatible) housing
and are rated to IP64 for dust and water
protection. They can operate in an ambient
temperature of up to 50° C without forced
ventilation.
The flange dimensions of the stepper
motors are 42 mm (NEMA 17), 57 mm
(NEMA 23) and 86 mm (NEMA 34). The
retention torques of the various models
range from 0.43 Nm to 8.4 Nm. The step
angle is 1.8° for all models.
The stepper motors are controlled via
braided cables, and engineers can easily
program the stepper motors via PC or laptop.
They are designed for a control voltage of 24
to 36 V DC and have 2 output ports and 6
input ports. Connection cables, SMPS's,
interface converters and 1-stage gear drives
are available as accessories. All stepper
motors are suitable for continuous operation.
Engineers can find the stepper motors
along with the available sizes and versions
from norelem’s product reference catalogue
THE BIG GREEN BOOK. Alternatively, the
components can be ordered direct from
norelem’s webshop.
