3.0 N·m Stepper Motor with 17-Bit Encoder, 60 mm Frame

Integrated Stepper with Absolute Feedback

The iESS60-36-30-17BC is an integrated stepper motor with a 60 mm frame, an 87 mm body length and a 17-bit absolute encoder. By combining the driver into the motor housing, the product reduces panel space and shortens signal wiring for each axis.

Application scenarios

This is a versatile low-maintenance axis for precision automation. In factory automation it runs small indexing tables, alignment fixtures and pick-and-place pedestals that must hold repeatable position across many cycles. Packaging machines use it on tube sealing, small carton dressing and neck-labeling stations where the absolute encoder removes any restart offset. Robotics applies it to compact wrist and tool-rotation joints, and CNC machine tools fit it on auxiliary and tool-magazine axes. Because it generates low heat and low vibration, it suits precision mechanisms where thermal drift and resonance would otherwise blur accuracy.

Positioning with Absolute Feedback

The 17-bit absolute encoder keeps a continuous record of shaft position, so the axis can be restarted without a homing cycle. Real-time correction in the control loop prevents step loss during acceleration and keeps positioning repeatable across temperature and load changes.

Torque and Heat Management

Holding torque is 3.0 N·m with a rated current of 5.0 A. The integrated drive is tuned to generate low heat during hold and creep, and the low-vibration characteristic helps maintain accuracy in precision mechanisms. Fast acceleration is available for short-stroke cycles.

Selection Guidance

Confirm the 60 mm frame and 87 mm length fit the axis assembly, and provision the 5.0 A feed in the cabinet. Because feedback is absolute, eliminate the home switch and homing routine from the machine program to save setup time. The low-heat, low-vibration design lets you place this motor adjacent to sensitive precision stages. On washdown-unfriendly cells verify the enclosure class meets the environment before mounting in the process area.
