Aerotech SM Series High-Performance Stepper Motors

The SM series of stepper motors brings efficiency of motion to Aerotech’s

line of rotary motor products. With ample torque at high velocities, the SM

series is a perfect stand-in for DC brushed or brushless rotary motors in

nearly any medium-accuracy motion application. With multiple offerings in

frame sizes from NEMA 17 to NEMA 34. the SM series provides additional

options to meet your needs.

Design Features

• Industry-standard NEMA frame stepper motors

• Available encoder feedback and brake options

• Models to run off of North American & Asian/European line voltages

• Optimized performance for use with Aerotech stages

• High-performance micro-stepping up to 50.000 steps/revolution

• Vacuum and cleanroom versions available

Design and Integration Flexibility

The SM series motors have been designed with optional direct encoder

feedback, a holding brake, or even a viscous damper to improve the

dynamic response of the rotor. These standard options allow the SM

series to adapt to many common motion applications and extend their

capabilities for use in a wider array of processes than a general stepper

motor.

Line Voltage Capable

The NEMA 23 and NEMA 34 frame size SM series motors are available in

a high-voltage optimized design. This produces optimum performance at

both North American and European/Asian line voltages without the need

for a transformer, further streamlining the system solution.
