Reduced Heat Generation by High-Efficiency Motor
Lower Heat Generation
The ARL Series utilizes high-efficiency technology to achieve a significant reduction in the amount of heat generated from the motor.
Energy Savings
Power Consumption: 58% less✽ than a conventional model (also by Oriental Motor)
Alarm Signal Output in Case of Abnormality
If an overload is applied continuously, an alarm signal is output. When the positioning is complete, an END signal is output. This ensures the same level of reliability achieved by a servo motor.
Unique Advantages of Stepping Motors
Compact, yet High Torque
Stepping motors generate high torque with a compact body.
Since a stepping motor has a shorter overall length compared to a servo motor of the same frame size (also by Oriental Motor), the device space can be reduced.
User-Friendly and Easy, Highly Accurate Positioning
Stepping motors provide convenient means to ensure highly accurate positioning because they synchronize themselves with commands without requiring feedback.
High Response
Since they operate synchronously with pulse commands and generate high torque with a compact body, stepping
motors offer excellent acceleration performance and response.
They are ideal for applications requiring frequent starting and stopping.
Capable of Driving Large Inertial Loads
Compared with a servo motor of the same frame size, a larger inertial load can be driven regardless of speed conditions.
No Tuning
Positioning is still possible without gain tuning even when the load fluctuates due to use of a belt mechanism, cam or chain drive, etc.
Holding the Stop Position
During positioning, the motor stops with its own holding torque without hunting. Accordingly, stepping motors are ideal for applications where the low rigidity of the mechanism requires absence of vibration upon stop.
Also Supports Absolute Systems✽
You can build an absolute system that detects absolute positions by connecting the accessory battery (sold separately).
