Small, Miniature and Micro Motors for Big Applications

In applications where limited space is available, you need to find a product that will fit, but also one that delivers the power needed to make the application successful. There are many small, miniature, and micro motors in the world, but only a few offer the kind of power density that make them useful in applications that need that bit of extra torque or force to get moving.

High Power Density Micro Motors for Small Spaces

Whether you require rotational or linear motion, there are variations of tiny motors that offer high power density to pack a powerful punch in a small space. The methods to improve power density are varied depending on motor type, but typically involve use of higher energy magnetics, tighter precision to reduce magnetic air gaps, improved slot fill, and unique electromagnetic configurations.

Your partner in motion control, Nippon offers a variety of Small, Miniature, and Micro Motor motor solutions based on several motor technologies, from small tin can steppers (10mm), to micro direct drive servo motors (13mm) to small linear servo motors (10mm forcer with 4mm shaft).

Linear Servo Motor Integrated, Custom Stage System

In the image and video, note that to the left you can partially see Nippon Pulse’s SLP stage system. This system is also designed around the Linear Servo Motor, but has the bearings and encoder already built into the housing frame. This all-inclusive stage system is an ideal replacement for ball-screws, rack & pinion, and…
