The RBK Series is a stepping motor and driver package consisting of a 1.8° step angle stepping motor and DC input microstepping driver. The RBK Series is available with either a standard, high-torque terminal box, planetary geared stepping motor with optional encoder as a standard offering. The RBK Series offers the highest torque for the entire speed range and includes Oriental Motor's proprietary Smooth Drive Function to easily achieve low-vibration operation.

The RBK Series utilizes a constant current driver with a wide voltage range of 20 to 75 VDC (20 to 40 VDC
for High-Torque and Planetary Geared models). This enables it to support a wide range of power sources and
raising the power supply voltage enables increased torque during high speed operation.

NOTE: Raising the power supply voltage enables increased torque during high speed operation.
The high-torque type adopts new technology and design. The motor produces approximately 30 ~ 50% higher torque than a conventional stepping motor of the same size.




The microstepping driver electronically divides the basic step angle of the motor (1.8°/step) by up to 128 steps without the use of a reduction mechanism or other mechanical element. 16 different resolutions levels are available. The available range of resolution settings is 200 (1.8°/step) to 25600 (0.0140625°/step). The step angle can be easily set using the built-in switches on the driver. This function enables low-vibration and low-noise operation.

This function corrects motor drive current waveforms. It provides improved angle accuracy and reduced vibration.
The Smooth Drive Function automatically controls the motor's microstep drive operation at the same travel and speed as in the full-step mode, without the operator having to change the speed settings of the driver's pulse input. It enables low-vibration operation available with the microstepping drive to be achieved with the flick of a switch.

This function improves vibrations in the medium speed range of stepping motors. It enables reduced risk of missteps due to vibrations.
