Size 14 Modular Step Motors have ±1.5 arc min step accuracy.
Press Release Summary:
Model 3609X measures 36 mm dia x 14.7 mm thick and weighs 2.88 oz, while Model 3609Y is 14 mm thick and weighs 2.56 oz. Both feature holding torque of up to 6 oz-in. and windings encapsulated in thermally conductive, ceramic-based polymer that promotes heat dissipation. Able to be placed in customer-supplied/designed housings, these 0.9° motors are suited for medical, optical, and surveillance industry applications.
Original Press Release:
Lin Engineering- 3609X and Y Modular Motors
Santa Clara, CA-February 2006-Lin Engineering, the Step Motor Specialist, is pleased to introduce new, medium sized additions to their line of size 14 modular motors. If you have an application that requires a small, lightweight motor that still delivers a considerable amount of torque the 3609X or Y may be the motor for you. This step motor delivers high step accuracy and is designed to be placed in the most compact of customer supplied housings.
The 3609X measures 36 mm in diameter, is a mere 14.7 mm thick, weighs 2.88 ounces and possesses a holding torque of up to 6 oz-in. The 3609Y also measures 36mm in diameter, is 14 mm thick, weighs a mere 2.56 ounces and possesses a holding torque of 6 oz-in. The windings are encapsulated in a thermally conductive ceramic based polymer which allows for quicker dissipation of heat. Thus, allowing for more aggressive windings in the same small package.
The step accuracy of this stepper is +/- 1.5 arc minutes compared to the industry average accuracy of +/- 4.5 arc minutes. This is why Lin Engineering's 0.9 degree motor is considered to have the best microstepping accuracy in the industry. Additionally, Lin Engineering can place the 3609X and Y in almost any customer supplied/designed housing imaginable. Industries currently using this motor in their applications are medical, optical and surveillance.
