Sanmotion F2 (2-Phase)
Micromech supplies SANMOTION F2 two-phase stepping motors from Sanyo Denki, delivering high torque, low vibration and reliable open-loop motion control. Available in a wide range of frame sizes, step angles and configurations, the SANMOTION F2 Series provides a flexible and cost-effective solution for accurate positioning in industrial automation and machine-building applications.
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
