DC Input Stepper Motor and Driver Package

.
CRK Series

0.36°/0.72° Stepper Motor and Driver Packages - CRK Series

The CRK Series is a motor and driver package that combines a 0.36° or 0.72° High Torque or Standard type stepper motor with a compact, microstepping driver, providing the lowest vibration and highest positional accuracy. The CRK Series adopts a compact, lightweight driver with our Smooth Drive technology, allowing your system to utilize the performance of the 0.36° or 0.72° motor without changing your controller output pulses.

The CRK Series is available with 5 frame sizes of 0.79 in. (20 mm), 1.10 in. (28mm), 1.18 in. (30mm), 1.65 in. (42 mm) and 2.36 in. (60 mm), 4 geared types and encoder options.


Safety MarksAdvanced Search

Low Vibration and Noise Achieved by Microstepping

The basic step angle of the motor can be divided into a maximum of 250 microstep angles without using any mechanical element such as a reduction gear. As a result, vibration and noise are further reduced.

Lower Vibration

 

Smooth Drive Function for Enhanced Ease of Use

The Smooth Drive Function automatically controls operations via microstep drive at the same travel distance and speed used in the full-step mode, without requiring the operator to change the pulse input settings. This function is particularly useful when the CRK Series is used in full-step or half-step mode.

Wide Variety of Motors

This series offers models ranging from the high-torque type and standard type, as well as various geared types.
You can find a product meeting your specific torque, resolution or other needs from a wide range of specifications.

0.36° High-Torque, High-Resolution Motor

High-ResolutionThe basic step angle of the high-resolution type is 0.36°/step, which is half the basic step angle of the standard type.

The positioning accuracy of stepper motors is affected by frictional load. The CRK's high-resolution type, having a smaller basic step angle and capable of generating approximately 1.5 times the torque of the standard type, ensures quick torque rise, thereby minimizing the effect of frictional load.

Hi ResolutionAngle-Torque Characteristics

Stop Position Accuracy of 2 Arc Minutes (No load)

The 0.36° High-Torque Type motors is designed with a stop position accuracy of 2 arc minutes (0.034°) [standard type: 3 arc minutes (0.05°)]. The reduced error helps improve the positioning accuracy of your equipment.

Static Angle Characteristics

0.36° / 0.72° High-Torque Motor

High-Torque The high-torque type adopt a newly designed high-torque motor that widens the range of applications.
- The smaller motor allows for compact equipment design.
- The motor current is reduced to suppress heat generation.

System Configuration

*Motor and encoder cables included with the package, driver lead wire set sold separately.

Build a complete system online by selecting your base motor and driver and adding all necessary accessories and/or controller.

Build a System

Couplings / Brackets

Flexible Couplings

Motor Cables

This three-piece coupling adopts an aluminum alloy hub and a resin spider. The simple construction ensures that the high torque generated by a gear motor can be transmitted reliably. The proper elasticity of the spider suppresses motor vibration.

Motor Mounting Brackets

Mounting Bracket

Mounting brackets are convenient for installation and securing a stepper motor or geared stepper motor.

Cables

Driver Lead Wire Set

Driver Cable

Lead wires with a connector are available as an accessory for DC input drivers. These lead wires allow for easy connection of the motor, power supply and input/output signals without crimping. The connection cable set includes three connection cables (for motor, power supply and input/output signals).

Clean Dampers

Clean DamperMechanical dampers suppress stepper motor vibration and improve high-speed performance. An inertia body and silicon gel are hermetically sealed in a plastic case.

(For use with Double Shaft motors)

 

Connection Cables

Extension Cables

These cables extend the distance between the motor and driver. The motor includes a 2 ft. (600 mm) cable. Use a flexible motor cable if the motor is installed on a moving part or its cable will be flexed.

Connection Cables for Connector Type Motors
(included in package)

Cables

This lead wire connection cable with a conveniently crimped connector is for connector-coupled motor, and for connecting motors and drivers. [A connection cable of 2 ft. (0.6 m) is included with the motor with connector and driver packages.]

 

Controllers

Controllers are devices that output pulse signals needed to operate a stepper motor. Controllers let you make various settings to control your motor and also permit connection with a host programmable controller and sensors or PC. Select a controller that best suits your system.
