h3 Stepper Runs Cooler, Longer and Delivers 30%-40% higher performance
WEST CHESTER, PA – Portescap, a Danaher Motion company, introduces its newest addition to the Stepper motor manufacturer family, the h3. The h3 runs quieter and with less resonance across the entire speed range, assisting to professional counter the disadvantages typical in step motor systems. The h3 is available in NEMA size 17 and 23 and will soon be available in size 34 in 2008. Larger bearings supplier enable the motor to effectively handle higher side and radial loads. Full maximization of performance is realized with the enhanced version of the h3 stepper, which delivers up to 40% more torque -than the standard version.
Applications where the step motor systems excel include:
-Electronic assembly
-Linear stages
-Medical industrial analyzers
Portescap's Step motor systems are able to hold an advantage over servo motor systems in their ease of use and cost effectiveness. From a motor standpoint, Portescap has optimized the hybrid step motor performance, allowing the continued use of step motor systems in a wide array of applications. The Aluminum housing design provides superior heat dissipation, slowing the temperature rise, which provides higher output torque. This design also lowers the power consumption of the h3 stepper, which benefits the power requirement of the overall step motor system. Updating the magnet material to Neodymium delivers optimized torque density in the same package size. By raising the output performance of the step motor system while reducing the perceived disadvantages, Portescap has maintained the place of step motor systems in the motion control world.
