For linear axes and handling systems, igus offers a wide range of electric motors. Hybrid stepper motors or DC motors are used in lead screw drives, toothed belts and

rack and pinion drives. The electric motors complete the range offered by igus automation technology. In this way, entire handling systems can be configured in combination with linear axes.

Stepper motors

• Powerful in five sizes
• Motors with metric connector or stranded wires
• With encoder and brake for extra safety
• Increased anti-rotation feature due to machined flat motor shaft (D-cut)

Direct-current motors

• Also available with protective housing
• Torques from 0.1 to 1.8Nm
• Speed up to 440rpm
• Increased anti-rotation feature due to machined flat motor shaft (D-cut)

EC/BLDC motors

• With Hall and encoder
• Installation sizes NEMA: 17, 23 and 34
• Virtually wear-free
