For over 50 years, Nippon Pulse’s stepper motors have offered an economical solution to motor requirements in a huge variety of machine types. The performance and value of Nippon Pulse’s permanent magnet stepper motors (PF series tin-can steppers) have been well-established in the engineering world, and offer many advantages over other kinds of stepper motors. Permanent magnet stepper motors strike the perfect balance between efficiency and affordability. As low-inertia, low-resolution motors they fulfill a common machine design need, offering a low-priced alternative to hybrid stepper motors in many applications.

Tin-Can Stepper Motors (Permanent Magnet)

Nippon Pulse’s steppers are conventional, magnet-driven rotary stepper motors offering both high-performance and a cost-efficient price point. Nippon Pulse has been manufacturing rotary stepper motors since 1965.

Product Features of the Stepper Motor

Several customization options are available on all tin-can steppers
Prototyping within 24 hours
Any of our standard series motors can be customized to meet the unique needs of your application

There are several advantages of using Nippon Pulse stepper motors. Speed can easily be determined and controlled by remembering speed equals steps per revolution divided by pulse rate. Stepper motors can make fine incremental moves and do not require a feedback encoder (open loop). Stepper motors also have fast acceleration capability and have non-cumulative positioning error. Along with excellent low speed/high torque characteristics without gear reduction, stepper motors can also be used to hold loads in a stationary position without creating overheating. All NPM stepper motors have the ability to operate on a wide speed range.

Linear Stepper Motors

Nippon Pulse’s linear stepper motors are designed to provide a simple, effective linear actuator at a fraction of the cost of a conventional rotary-to-linear stepper system. Nippon Pulse’s LINEARSTEP® tin-can linear actuators have multiple customization options available.

Linear Stepper Motor Product Sizing

Offered in diameters of 25mm and 35mm
Can also be ordered with one of three thread pitches on the lead screw (0.48mm, 0.96mm, and 1.2mm)
Linear stepper motors can be ordered with unipolar or bipolar windings and with a variety of usable voltages

Nippon Pulse’s LINEARSTEP® series is a standalone, low-cost linear motor that does not need external feedback. These motors offer direct linear motion without any mechanical transformers, which allow you to design a simple system at a fraction of the cost of conventional rotary-to-linear stepper systems. LINEARSTEP® motors offer engineers flexibility to match their application requirements.
