Request InfoNanotec Electronic GmbH & Co. KGThe PD2-C-IP brushless direct current (DC) servo motor from Nanotec Electronic GmbH & Co. KG features an integrated controller and 42-mm flange size in protection class IP65. It was developed for use in harsh environmental conditions. The PD2-C-IP is available as a brushless DC motor, with an operating voltage of 12 to 48 V and a rated power of 105 W, and as a stepper motor, with a nominal torque of up to 0.5 nm. Due to the field-oriented control based on an integrated encoder, both motors are controlled in the same way and differ only in their working point. Each motor is...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSBioPhotonics Jul/Aug 2023 IssueLinear ActuatorThe LSA14 from Nanotec is a linear actuator with 14-mm flange (NEMA 6), as well as a stepper motor.
