The BPS stepper motor series consists of three frame sizes: the BPS 1620, the BPS 1623 and the BPS 2532. All variants operate with three cylinders that are driven by the corresponding valves, which can be controlled, for example, via a PLC. Due to their construction, the stepper motors can rotate clockwise and counterclockwise, making a step of 3° per switching pulse. Smaller steps can be achieved by using a reduction gearbox.
The stepper motors are suitable for a wide range of applications. Not only because they are resistant to dust, contamination and strong magnetic fields, but also because they can be used in temperatures from -25 to +70°C. In addition, they offer a relatively high accuracy of ±9 arcminutes, which is independent of the number of steps.
