CLOSING THE TECHNOLOGY GAP
Festo has introduced an optimised stepper motor family, which delivers energy and cost reductions

nnovation in stepper motor technology means the gap between stepper and servo technology is narrowing. In applications where the performance of a servo motor is not required because there are no highly dynamic loads or high speed demands, the stepper (with its choice of battery- closed loop positioning.
Today, the humble stepper can with uncompromised performance at extra low voltage. The new, optimised EMMB-ST and EMMT-ST stepper motor family from Festo can be used in conjunction with the CMMT-ST servo drive controller to create a coordinated servo system at an attractive price. The stepper motor family includes models

Take control of your motion.
SPEED. PRECISION. PERFORMANCE.
designed for regular and advanced industrial automation applications, enabling machine builders and system designers to choose the The EMMB-ST range of stepper motors is the basic series for regular industrial applications. particularly suitable for series machine manufacturers and applications in electronics and small parts handling. It features a One Cable Plug (OCP) cable that saves space and enables front or rear alignment. This range is rated to IP20 (shaft IP40). The premium range of EMMT- ST stepper motors are designed for applications that require a higher IP rating and outstanding levels of connectivity. This model is rated to IP65 (shaft IP40) and holds UL
The compatible CMMT-ST servo drive controller supports multiple Stop 1 functions. The controller features an energy management function that can make the most ordinary positioning system more sustainable.
containing a CMMT-ST controller with multi-protocol function, an EMMT-ST stepper motor and matching motor/encoder cables with OCP technology. It can be used to develop solutions for individual automation tasks and to test possible applications. The kit is easy to use and intuitive to install with the Festo Automation Suite software and provides the full range of functions.
