May 03, 2001 by Jeff Shepard

Thomson Airpax Mechatronics (Cheshire, CT) introduced a newly developed, high-torque 55mm permanent magnet stepper motor, the Series 55M. The 7.5 degree motor, which measures 2.2" x 1.1", is claimed to outperform Thomson Airpax Mechatronic's larger permanent magnet stepper motors. The device is available in both a unipolar and bipolar version. It produces 176.5mNm pull-out torque when driven with a 24Vdc chopper drive.

Key specifications include 4.8W input power per winding, a weight of 270g and permanently lubricated bearings. Possible applications for the Series 55M motors include paper feed/sorting functions, medical and HVAC pumps, and wheel positioning in gaming machines.

Samples of the Series 55M are available from stock. Unit pricing is $10.50 in 500-piece quantities.
