 1. Introduction
The stepper motors are brushless, synchronous electric motors with the following features:

- NEMA 11, NEMA 17, and NEMA 23 motor frame sizes

- Bi-polar operation with 4 leads (A, /A, B, /B)
- Double and triple standard stack sizes
- Supports up to 2.8A RMS current (depending on motor frame size and stack)
- 200 steps per revolution when operating under full step mode (1.8 degree/step)
- Optional 1000 count encoder on NEMA 17 and 23 models

Motor Frame Size – Standard bi-polar step motors are available in NEMA 11, NEMA 17, and
NEMA 23 sizes.

Motor Stack Size – Standard stack size motor available: (2) Double, (3) Triple. Typically, a
larger size motor can handle higher torque but is slower and require higher current.

Option Encoder – NEMA 17 and NEMA 23 motors are available with an optional 1000 count
optical encoder. The encoder is provided with an enclosure and flying lead wire interface.
