Larger motor sizes have been added to the PLC-based SMD series all-in-one stepper motor + drive + controllers to satisfy applications with varying torque requirements. The product is suitable for both new machinery and retrofits when looking to automate set-up axes. In addition to the recent NEMA size 34 packages, options include NEMA sizes 23 and 24, with torque ranging from 130 oz-in (0.9 Nm) to 850 oz-in (6 Nm). Features include built-in network connectivity (EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP or Profibus), built-in Ethernet switch, SynchroStep technology, optional integrated encoder (incremental or multi-turn absolute), IP67-rated versions, gearboxes and compatible cord sets.
