The ideal high-speed drive for feeder applications and stirrers Feldkirchen, July 2013 – A very small, ultraflat stepper motor is now available from Nanotec Electronic GmbH & Co. KG. The STF2818 model has a flange size of 28mm and is only 9.4mm high. The STF2818 is the second ultraflat stepper motor in the company's product spectrum, in addition to ST6318. Originally, the small stepper motor was developed for feeder applications in the semiconductor industry, where components are supplied on rolls. With a rotor inertia of 1.7gcm² and a holding torque of 0.98Ncm, it reaches a considerable speed for its size. In combination with a step angle of 1.8°, the STF2818 is therefore also suitable for many other applications, such as in stirrers. The ultraflat stepper motor is optionally available with a flat-sided shaft.
