IMS Inside Out Stepper Motors

The new inside out stepper (IOS) motor was designed by IMS to bring versatility to stepper motors using a unique multi-
functional, hollow core design.
This versatile new motor can be converted to a ball screw linear actuator by mounting a miniature ball screw to the front
shaft face. Ball screw linear actuators offer long life, high efficiency, and can be field retrofitted. There is no need to throw
the motor away due to wear of the nut or screw.
The IOS motors offer the following features:

The shaft face diameter offers a wide choice of threaded hole patterns for coupling.

The IOS motor can be direct coupled in applications within the torque range of the motor,
eliminating couplings and increasing system efficiency.

The IOS motor can replace gearboxes in applications where gearboxes are used for inertia
damping between the motor and the load. The induced backlash from the gearbox is eliminated
providing improved bidirectional position accuracy.

Electrical or pneumatic lines can be directed through the center of the motor enabling the motors
to be stacked end-to-end or applied in robotic end effector applications. The through hole is
stationary, preventing cables from being chaffed by a moving hollow shaft.
 Light beams can be directed through the motor for refraction by a mirror or filter wheel mounted
on the shaft mounting face.

The IOS motor is adaptable to valves enabling the valve stem to protrude above the motor frame.
The stem can be retrofitted with a dial indicator showing valve position.

The motor is compatible with IMS bipolar drivers, keeping the system cost low.

The IOS motor can operate up to 3000 rpm's.
The IOS motor is available in the following frames:
