As a plug-and-play component, the integrated ST NEMA24-310-48-T1 motor can be perfectly connected to the item Linear Units – without the need for a separate control unit or complex cabling. Thanks to the standardized NEMA24 flange and compatible drive sets, integration is quick and straightforward. The item Motion Designer takes care of the technical design: the online software creates a customized combination of drive and Linear Unit based on individual requirements such as load, stroke and motion profile. The software also offers the option of downloading technical information, analyses and CAD data as project documentation – ideal for further processing in other programs. 

High torque and compact design

“We wanted to develop a product that is not only technically impressive, but also makes our customers’ work noticeably easier – from design to commissioning,” says Oliver Lange, Product Manager for Automation at item. “Thanks to the integrated controller, installation and parameterization work can be reduced to a minimum. Coupled with intuitive operation, the ST NEMA24-310-48-T1 offers a powerful, compact and user-friendly solution for modern linear units.”

An additional benefit: the stepper motor delivers a high torque of 3 Nm at a rated power of 100 W even at low speeds and therefore does not require an additional gearbox. This reduces complexity and maintenance costs. The integrated controller also eliminates the need for complex cabling, meaning that even less experienced technicians can commission the motor quickly and safely. The motor can be easily connected to sensors, limit switches or buttons via digital inputs and outputs. It is particularly suitable for precise tasks with small loads of up to 15 kg – for example in the packaging industry, in mechanical engineering or in high-tech sectors such as semiconductor and medical technology.

The item MotionSoftStepper software is available for parameterization and commissioning. It can be used to program typical motion sequences in just a few minutes. The programs run autonomously on the integrated controller. Predefined operating modes make it easy to get started: the automated application can be implemented quickly and easily by entering just a few parameters.
