STEPPER MOTORS & DRIVES

Anchor 1

RTA, the second largest stepping drive manufacturer in Europe, offers a wide range of Bipolar Chopping Drives in both AC and DC ranges. RTA also has Indexing Programmable Stepper controllers for Daisy Chaining and MultiAxis Applications. The newly introduced X-Mind Series Driver has been in use in many countries including the US working on very critical applications primarily in the packaging/printing and Labeling industries.

​

RTA is a leading European manufacturer of bipolar chopper stepper motor drives for two phase hybrid 200 step/rev motors. Drives range from 0.75 Amp @ 24V upto 14 Amps @ 240V and are available in several mounting versions such as Eurorack (illustrated), OEM and panel mounting. The drives are available in resolutions from the standard 200 step/rev (full) to 400 step/rev (half), 800 step/rev (quarter) and 4000 (ministep). They are designed for high reliability motion control in industrial environments and are backed by over 20 years experience in stepper motor drive design.

​

The drives are easily controlled by step and direction inputs from a computer or programmable logic controller. Applications include laboratory instrumentation, back stop positioning, CNC retrofitting, labelling machines, packaging machines, XY tables, pick & place and testing machines.

​

Our E.M.C statement applies to the installation of these products. At the time of web site publication, all RTA drives except the BCW02 and SD stepper motors claim European CE and Australian C-tick conformity. The CE compliance is important for machine manufacturers seeking clients in European countries.

Sanyo Denki, founded in 1927, was the first company to mass produce stepper motors in 1960 (starting with a variable reluctance motor with a 15 degree step angle).Since thoseearly days, Sanyo Denki has become the sleeping giant of the industry, producing over 800 different models for applications running from disk drives, printers, medical equipment, machine tools, to specialty motors for use in outer space and in clean rooms for sub-micron machining.  Since that time, they have expanded into all types of motors and drives.


Millons of Sanyo Denki motors are in the field working hard and reliably everday. Today, extraordinary factory automation enables Sanyo Denki to produce 500,000 motors a month. If your needs are many or few, Sanyo Denki can provide World Class ISO 9002 stepper motors for your project or product.

 

With over 800 different models, their products have found greatest favour as candidates for CNC retro-fits and new CNC machine designs. They use the more commonly available and economical two phase drivers and software, and range from a Nema 11, 4.5 ounce/inch, up to a Nema size 42, 2,690 ounce/inch brute (which only needs a 6 amp driver!). 

 

SanMotion is the brand name for Sanyo Denki motion control systems. Sanyo Denki is a worldwide provider of stepping and servo systems and is known for high qaulity, reliability, and state of the art design. SanMotion components are used in a variety of industries including medical, semiconductor, factory automation, and defense/aerospace.
