How To Connect The Motor - IMS MicroLYNX Quick Manual

The new Inside Out Stepper (IOS) motors were designed and patented by IMS to
bring versatility to small motors. These motors employ a unique multi-func-
tional, hollow-shaft design. By mounting a miniature ball screw to the front shaft
face, the IOS motor can be converted to a ball screw linear actuator. In addition
to offering long life and high efficiency, ball screw linear actuators may be field
retrofitted. There is no need to throw the motor away due to wear of the nut or
screw.

Shielded twisted pair cabling should be used to make the power supply connec-
tions to the MicroLYNX in the following gauges:

There are basically three different lead configurations of stepping
motors with a total of five different wiring configurations.
These are:

A series motor configuration would typically be used
in applications where a higher torque at low speeds is
needed. Because this configuration has the most induc-
tance, the performance will start to degrade at higher
speeds. Use the unipolar current rating as the peak
output current.

If you need higher torque output
at lower speeds, connect
me in a series configuration.
For higher torque output
at higher speeds use the
parallel configuration!
