Reducing Power Consumption Using High Torque Stepper Motors

Effective use of high torque motors can reduce power consumption. After revising the magnetic design and structure design of the PKP Series stepper motors, it produces much more torque than conventional products of the same size. In addition, torque can be increased in the high-speed range by using high current motors. Drivers that maximize the performance of the PKP Series are also available.

The Effects of Using the PKP Series

Speed - Torque Characteristics and CO2 Emissions Comparison

The high torque of the PKP Series can be utilized to achieve the operating current value with the same torque as a conventional product to reduce CO2 emissions.

Comparison of Motor Temperature Rise

Temperature rise in the motor can be suppressed by lowering the operating current value in the PKP Series. This increases the life of the motor.
