Chapter 1 Overview Chapter 1 Overview 1.1 Description These motor actuators offer 1" (25 mm) and 2” (50 mm) of travel, and when used with one of our stepper motor controllers, such as the BSC201, can achieve a default maximum speed of 50 mm/s. They provide sufficient torque for large loads up to 180 N. The hybrid stepper motor, with its rotor consisting of 50 individual magnetic teeth, is ideally suited for micro-stepping applications. -
