Stepper Motors, Drivers & Controllers
Stepper motors enable accurate positioning with ease. They are used in various types of equipment for accurate rotation angle and speed control using pulse signals. Stepper motors generate high torque with a compact body, and are ideal for quick acceleration and response. Stepper motors also hold their position at stop, due to their mechanical design. Stepper motor solutions consist of a driver (takes pulse signals in and converts them to motor motion) and a stepper motor. Oriental Motor offers many solutions for a wide variety of applications:
- AlphaStep Closed Loop Stepper Motors, 2-Phase Stepper Motors, 5-Phase Stepper Motors
- Geared, Encoder and Electromagnetic Brake options
- AC or DC Input Stepper Motor Drivers
- Frame Sizes from 0.79 in. (20 mm) up to 3.54 in. (90 mm)
Stepper Motor Drivers
AC Input stepper motor drivers offer superior torque characteristics over a wide speed range, from low to high speeds, providing a large speed ratio. Supports Closed Loop control without gain tuning or hunting problems when used with the AlphaStep AZ Series (absolute mechanical encoder) motor or the AlphaStep AR Series (built-in resolver) motor for superior control. The RKII Series (open loop) is ideal for demanding applications where feedback is not required.
All AC Input stepper motor drivers feature Oriental Motor's advance microstepping (Smooth Drive) control. These drivers are available in pulse input or stored data (Network) types through our FLEX product group and offer electromagnetic brake control for vertical operations.
Oriental Motor DC stepper motor drivers are available with the same features found in their AC Input drivers.
They also offer DC Input drivers specifically designed for OEM applications. The CVD board level is a superior microstepping driver providing an industry leading speed torque characteristic, high accuracy even when microstepping and ultra low vibration characteristics with its advanced microstepping (smooth drive) feature. They are available in 2-phase or 5-phase.

Speed Control Motors
For applications where variable speeds are necessary, typically an AC motor with an Inverter or brush motors are used. Brushless DC motors are an advanced option due to their wide speed range, low heat and maintenance-free operation. Stepper Motors offer high torque and smooth low speed operation.
Speed is typically controlled by manual operation on the driver or by an external switch, or with an external 0~10 VDC. Speed control systems typically utilize gearheads to increase output torque. Gear types range from spur, worm or helical / hypoid depending on torque demands and budgets

Linear Motion
Motors offer excellent controllability and are therefore used as the drive sources of various automated equipment. In many cases a stepper motor is combined with various mechanical components such as a ball screw, belt and pulley, and rack and pinion to convert the motor rotation to a different type of motion needed to drive the equipment such as a linear actuator. Oriental Motor has various linear actuators consisting of a stepper motor assembled with the necessary mechanical components to meet the various needs of automated equipment.
