Cost-effective motion solution: stepper motors complement drive range

The stepper motors of the AS1xxx series are a cost-effective alternative to the AM2000 und AM3000 Servomotors for the small and medium capacity range. Different stepper motor types with torques ranging between 0.38 Nm and 5 Nm can be used as actuators or auxiliary axes for machine construction and automation applications.

In conjunction with the KL2531 and KL2541 stepper motor Bus Terminals and the TwinCAT automation software, cost-effective axes can easily be integrated into the overall application. The KL2531 Bus Terminal covers the lower capacity range up to a peak current of 1.5 A per phase with a supply voltage up to 24 V DC. The KL2541 offers higher performance comparable to that of small Servo Drives. With a peak current of 5 A, the KL2541 can generate an impressive torque of 5 Nm when used in conjunction with a standard stepper motor.

In order to simplify the electrical connection, the stepper motors are equipped with pre-assembled plug connectors. Planetary gear units, incremental encoders and pre-assembled connection cables are available as accessories.
