Disc Magnet Motors

Portescap offers Disc Magnet Motors. The exceptional possibilities offered by their line of disc magnet stepper motors are unequaled by any other kind of permanent magnet stepper motor. Their advanced technology, developed by Portescap in Switzerland, allows for truly exceptional dynamic motor performance. The unique thin disc magnet enables finer step resolutions than permanent magnet stepper motors in a given envelope, significantly higher acceleration due to low inertia and greater top speed than conventional steppers due to a shorter magnetic circuit presenting lower iron losses. Therefore, these stepper motors are ideal in applications that require fast incremental motion.  These high-speed micro stepper motors excel in applications that require the motion precision of a stepper motor and the speed and acceleration of a brushless DC motor.
