stepIM – Integrated Closed Loop Stepper

With a cost-effective design and superior closed loop servo drive by Servotronix Motion Control, the stepIM integrated closed loop stepper motors provide an efficient and economical solution for applications that require the performance of a servo at the price level of a stepper. The stepIM significantly enhances the performance of the stepper motors, when compared to conventional open loop control.

• Sophisticated closed loop control enhances motor performance with no step loss
• Operates in torque, velocity, and position modes
• Efficient torque utilization optimizes motor sizing
• Integrated design minimizes component and wiring requirements
• 3 x digital inputs, 1 x digital output
• 1 x Analog differential input
• 12 Bit absolute encoder, 4096 ppr and update rate 16kHz
• Up to IP65 protection class
• Fieldbus: CANopen, EtherCAT
• CE and cUL certifications

When starting a project requiring an integrated step motor, In-Position Technologies engineers start by reviewing the key requirements to determine the optimum size motor for the job.  They perform all necessary engineering calculations to make sure the motor performs as required, within customer specification, and without unnecessary cost. They will also recommend the appropriate controllers and drives that will best fit the application and motor.  

This includes: 

• Motor torque, speed, and inertia matching 
• Ensuring compatibility with the system controller and available power 
• Verifying mounting compatibility, form factor checks, etc… 
• Ensuring all necessary accessories are also specified 

When ordering the stepIM Integrated Closed Loop Stepper as a part of a full system, IP Tech engineers review the solution to ensure: 

• All parts and accessories necessary for a complete working solution are included 
• All components have been checked and verified to work together as a system 
• The selected components will perform as required by the project specification
