 STEPPING MOTORS & DRIVES
FULL, HALF, QUARTER & MINISTEPPING

---------------------------------DRIVES---------------------------------

RTA is a leading European manufacturer of bipolar chopper stepper motor drives for two phase hybrid 200 step/rev motors. Drives range from 0.75 Amp @ 24V upto 14 Amps @ 240V and are available in several mounting versions such as Eurorack (illustrated), OEM and panel mounting. The drives are available in resolutions from the standard 200 step/rev (full) to 400 step/rev (half), 800 step/rev (quarter) and 4000 (ministep). They are designed for high reliability motion control in industrial environments and are backed by over 20 years experience in stepper motor drive design.

The drives are easily controlled by step and direction inputs from a computer or programmable logic controller. Applications include laboratory instrumentation, back stop positioning, CNC retrofitting, labelling machines, packaging machines, XY tables, pick & place and testing machines.

Our E.M.C statement applies to the installation of these products. At the time of web site publication, all RTA drives except the BCW02 and SD stepper motors claim European CE and Australian C-tick conformity. The CE compliance is important for machine manufacturers seeking clients in European countries.

SAC Terminal Board
 
The SDC, HGD and SAC stepper drives use AMP crimp terminal connectors for supply, logic and motor connections. A.M.S. have developed a printed circuit board with mating plugs that plug into the stepper drive and provide screw terminals for the cables. There is also a base plate to simplify mounting in a control cabinet. The HGD terminal board makes cable connection and installation easy.

-----------------------STEPPING MOTORS-----------------------
The SD stepper motors are 2 phase hybrid motors which have been selected for optimum performance when used with RTA stepper drives. They can only be supplied with matching RTA drives. They are available in 17, 23, 34 and 42 frame sizes and are well suited to small to medium size machine automation applications. The 23 and 34 frame motors are supplied with 8 flying leads for high flexibility on drive connection. This enables the user to connect motors in parallel, series and unipolar configuration. The 42 frame motors have a terminal box and screw terminal connections. The 17 frame motors have 6 flying leads. SD stepper motors also have CE and C-tick approval.

STANDARD SERIES

The motors are nominally 200 steps/rev (1.8 degree steps), although our drives are also capable of running in half, quarter or ministep resolution providing 400, 800 and 4000 steps/rev. Depending on the electronic drive used, the steppers are capable of speeds from 0 to 3000 rpm, although torque is highly speed dependant. For further explanations and notes on stepper motor use see contact the office for our Stepper Motor Applications Guide. We are able to calculate motor torque required for a specific application and mechanics (see Motor Sizing Forms in Technical Notes for details). All stepper motor models are to be sold only as a sets with matching RTA stepper drives.

'H' SERIES
 
The 'H' series have the same flange size as the standard series but have higher torque, higher efficiency and lower noise and vibration.The higher torque is achieved by higher efficiency magnetic materials. The rotor inertia is also higher, making them better able to handle high inertia loads. They are ideal in applications where a standard motor  of the same size has insufficient torque or safety margin. The cost however is higher than the standard series.
