Stepping Motor with Encoder

Sanyo Denki SANMOTION Stepping Motors with Encoder

Sanyo Denki SANMOTION stepping motors with encoder combine the precise incremental positioning of two-phase stepping motors with integrated rotary encoder feedback, providing an intelligent motion solution for industrial automation applications requiring improved positioning reliability and machine performance.

Unlike conventional open-loop stepping motors, the integrated encoder continuously monitors motor position, allowing the controller to verify movement and detect missed steps caused by overloads or unexpected operating conditions. This provides greater confidence in positioning accuracy while reducing the risk of machine downtime or rejected products.

By combining stepper motor technology with encoder feedback, SANMOTION motors offer many of the advantages associated with closed-loop motion control while retaining the simplicity, holding torque, and cost-effectiveness of a stepping motor system. This makes them particularly suitable for applications requiring higher positioning reliability without the complexity of a full servo solution.

The SANMOTION range is available in a variety of frame sizes, torque ratings, encoder resolutions, and shaft configurations, allowing machine builders to optimise performance for their application. Optional gearboxes and electromagnetic holding brakes further increase flexibility for vertical axes, high-torque applications, and compact machine designs.

Designed for packaging machinery, semiconductor equipment, electronics manufacturing, medical devices, inspection systems, and general industrial automation, SANMOTION stepping motors with encoder deliver dependable positioning performance, reduced commissioning risk, and improved machine reliability.

Micromech supplies Sanyo Denki SANMOTION stepping motors with encoder as part of a complete motion control and automation solution portfolio for OEMs, machine builders, and industrial automation applications throughout the UK.
