StepSERVO Integrated Motors - Closed loop for high performance, energy efficiency and quiet operation

Customers who build high throughput production machinery demand cost effective high performance motion control. Applied Motion has responded to this demand by developing a broad range of StepSERVO™ Integrated Motors.

Ideally suited for applications such as packaging and labeling, automated test and measurement, automated assembly and life sciences, StepSERVO™ integrated motors use closed loop feedback and advanced control technology to create 50% more torque, fast dynamic response and high operating efficiency. This approach combines the best features of step motor and servo system performance in a cost effective motion control solution. Download the white paper to learn more.

Why choose StepSERVO™?

StepSERVO™ is the next evolution in step motor technology. Starting with a proven integrated motor design, we add a high-resolution incremental encoder and closed-loop servo firmware to create a motor that offers the best step motor performance available today. StepSERVO™ integrated motors offer the same high torque at low speed and excellent holding torque characteristics of open loop stepping motors with the advantages of true closed-loop control. These advantages include the ability to create peak torques from the motor up to 50% higher than the normal torque range of the same step motor running open loop. Closed loop also means the motor only draws current when it needs it, so step motors now run cooler than ever before.

• NEMA frame size 17, 23, 24 and 34 StepSERVO motors utilize 5000 line incremental encoders (20,000 counts/rev)
• NEMA frame size 11 StepSERVO motors utilize 1024 line incremental encoders (4,096 counts/rev)

There are three types of StepSERVO™ integrated motors to choose from:

SSM

• NEMA 23 frame size motors
• Ethernet (RJ-45) port for programming
• EtherNet/IP industrial networking standard
