Sanmotion F2 (2-Phase)

The SANMOTION F2 Series from Sanyo Denki is a comprehensive range of two-phase stepping motors designed to provide precise positioning, smooth movement and dependable operation across a wide variety of industrial automation applications. Combining high torque with low vibration and noise, the F2 Series provides accurate motion control without the complexity of an encoder-based servo system.

Using open-loop pulse control, SANMOTION F2 motors rotate through a fixed angle for every input pulse. This provides accurate incremental positioning and excellent repeatability, while the motor’s inherent holding torque maintains a stable position when stationary. Eliminating the need for encoder feedback in many applications can simplify system design and reduce overall cost.

The extensive range includes ultra-compact 14 mm square motors through to larger 106 mm models. Standard 1.8° and higher-resolution 0.9° step-angle versions are available, together with thin-profile motors and a broad selection of torque ratings.

Compatible microstepping drivers offer resolutions down to 1/16 step, helping to reduce vibration and noise while producing smoother motion. Additional options include IP65 splash- and dust-resistant motors, vacuum-compatible versions, gearheads, encoders and holding brakes.

Typical applications include:

• Semiconductor manufacturing equipment
• Medical and laboratory analysers
• Packaging machinery
• ATMs and self-service kiosks
• Conveyor and material-handling systems
• Textile and embroidery machinery
• Inspection and test equipment
• Monitoring cameras and lighting systems
• Automated assembly machinery
• General industrial automation
