Watch the video that compares equally sized motors – one open loop and one closed-loop. StepSERVO™ closed-loop integrated motors outperform traditional open loop step motors in many ways, including torque. Torque is important for today’s high-throughput production machinery that requires motors to operate reliably with high acceleration and deceleration rates.

Applied Motion is thrilled to announce our new employee Jesse Barr to the team as Application Engineer – Servo Products. Before joining Applied Motion, Jesse worked in industrial automation and aerospace industries. There he worked on a variety of servo controlled applications across North America supporting new and existing applications that ranged from a single axis to over 70 axes of motion. Before beginning his professional career, Jesse received a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

Applied Motion Products is pleased to offer a range of step motors and servo motors that are UL recognized to standards UL 1004-6 (Standard for Servo and Stepper Motors) and UL 1004-1 (Standard for Rotating Electrical Machines - General Requirements), as well as Canadian CSA standard CS22.2 NO. 100-14 (Motors and Generators). With this recognition customers can feel confident using these products in applications that require UL and CSA certification.

This article is about J Series Servo Motors from Applied Motion Products and a newly introduced variant of the motor design that comes with a 9-pin feedback connector instead of the more familiar 15-pin feedback connector. The details below include how to identify the 9-pin connector, why we’ve introduced this variant, and how it affects the product line.
