Stepper and Servo Motors

Friday, January 14th, 2011

Axis New England carries a wide range of stepper and servo motors for your motion control applications.  Our motor offering includes Lin Engineering, Parker Compumotor, Parker Trilogy, and Yaskawa.  With such a wide selection we can almost always find a standard or custom motor to fit your project needs.

Lin Engineering’s unique capability to combine offshore component production with domestic final assembly, allows them to deliver a low cost  solution with short leadtimes and custom features upon request.  Stepper motors range from NEMA11 to NEMA34 frame sizes with both 0.9o and 1.8o degree step angles.  Custom options include optimized windings, rotary encoders, modified out shafts and flanges, cable options, and integrated drive electronics.

Parker Compumotor offers a broad line of stepper and servo motors.  Motors range from NEMA16 frame to up over 3000W brushless servomotors.  The numerous product families range from low cost/high torque density designs to unique technologies offering extreme smoothness.  Their state of the art manufacturing facility allows them to offer custom connectors, shafts, windings, or almost any other modification built to your specification with little to no impact on cost and delivery.  Frameless motor options can be tightly integrated into OEM equipment to meet tight package and electrical design requirements.


Trilogy manufactures brushless iron-core and ironless linear motors.  Within each family they offer multiple sizes and stack lengths, with air and water cooling options.  Trilogy has optimized their torque density to get more force and minimize temperature rise, the leading problem with linear motors.  Their extensive history with linear motors has allowed them to design and manufacture technological advances to all but eliminate iron core cogging.

Yaskawa offers both rotary and linear servo motors.  Yaskawa long ago perfected the segmented stator design process allowing them to pack the cooper coils tighter together and thus yield the highest torque density in the industry.  Their motors range from a 10W 1″ square flange to a 55kW motor with over 6000in-lb of torque.  Both serial incremental and absolute encoders are standard offerings.  Yaskawa’s linear motors are available in both ironless and iron-core designs

The new Signature Series line of NEMA step motors from Lin wins the Design News 2009 Best product award.  NEMA size 14 or 17.  Small, cost effective package.  Custom windings available at no extra cost.

Axis New England is a Lin Engineering distributor.  Founded by Ted T. Lin in 1987, Lin Engineering began as a consulting company specializing in step motor applications. Throughout its history, Lin Engineering has continued to develop its capabilities in the areas of design engineering, manufacturing, and customer service. In 1991, Lin Engineering expanded its operatings to include the manufacturing of its own hybrid step motors. Since then, the company has developed its product line to include drivers, optical encoders, spur and planetary gearboxes, and step motor drives.

President Ted T. Lin is one of the foremost step motor designers in the industry. In 1984, Warner Electric named him. “Father of New Step Motor Technology” at their Motion Control System Division, where he directed the design of the step motors for early disk drive applications
