DC STEP MOTORS

Superior Electric is recognized worldwide as the leading manufacturer of step motor

positioning systems. Over 40 years ago,Superior Electric developed and patented

their SLO-SYN® Step Motor products. Today, SLO-SYN® step motors and drives

are the industry standard providing reliable, accurate positioning for a wide

range of applications.

• Available in standard NEMA frame sizes: 23, 34, 42

• Standard and High Torque

• Hazardous Duty models

• Washdown Models

Step motors are capable of very precise positioning without the use of complicated

and expensive feedback devices, although feedback systems may be incorporated

into step motor systems if position comparison is desired. Because

of the simplified control needs and the freedom from expensive feedback requirements,

step motors are viable alternatives to pneumatic, hydraulic and

servo motor systems. Step position loads by operating in discrete increments, or

steps, unlike other devices that operate at constant speeds. The stepping action

is accomplished by switching the power to the motor windings so that the motor

phases are energized in a specific sequence
