It is built with new manufacturing processes and technical standards, dedicated to providing stable and efficient operational support for related equipment. From precision instruments to large industrial machinery, it can play a key role with its excellent performance.
Superior Electric is a Danaher Motion brand, and is recognized worldwide as the leading manufacturer of step motor positioning systems. Over 40 years ago, Superior
Electric developed and patented their Superior step motor products.
The Superior Electric family of automation products includes:
• Step Motors
• Step Motor Drives
•Motion Controls
• Synchronous Motors
This catalog highlights the latest selection of high torque step motors from Superior Electric.
Our new line of NEMA size 42 high torque motors complements and extends the range of our size 23 and 34 high torque motors.
These high torque motors provide world-class performance, and represent the best value ever offered by Superior Electric.
They provide twice the torque (and in some cases more than twice the torque) of older conventional step motors.
Introduction To Step Motors
Superior Electric step motors provide very precise, cost effective, motion control.
Superior step motors inherently move in small, very precise, 1.8° increments (200 / revolution).
This stepping action is simple to control and does not require complicated, expensive feedback devices.
With micro stepping drives, each 1.8° step can be broken into even smaller increments.
And, if position verification is required, motors are available with encoders.
Due to their ease of use, simplified control needs and freedom from expensive feedback requirements, Superior step motors are excellent alternatives to pneumatic,hydraulic and servo motor systems.
Sizing and Selection Software for Superior Electric Products
Step motor systems are often used in high performance positioning systems.
The correct motor and drive are equally important for the system to meet performance and cost goals.
To select a motor and drive for a given situation requires an analysis of the load, mechanical system and desired cycle times or speeds.

Typical Applications
• Automation and inspection
• Conveyor transfer
• Cut-to-length metal, plastic, fabric, etc.
• Industrial HVAC
•Material handling
•Medical equipment
•Office peripheral equipment
• Packaging systems
• Pick-and-place applications
• Printing systems
• Robotics
• Semiconductor manufacturing

Technical Notes (Continued)
Stepping Techniques
The terms full-step, half-step and microstep are commonly used in the discussion of step motors.
A standard 1.8° step motor has 200 discrete positions in a full 360°revolution.
Since 360° divided by 200 equals 1.8°, the motor shaft will advance 1.8° each time the motor is given a digital command to take one step.
This is known as a full-step.
The term “half-step” indicates a 0.9° step angle (half of a full 1.8° step).
This is achieved with a switching technique that alternately applies positive current, no current, and negative current to each winding in succession.
The term “microstep” refers to a more sophisticated form of control which goes beyond the simple switching of power between phase A and phase B of the motor windings, and takes control of the amount of current being sent to the individual windings.
Microstepping permits the shaft to be positioned at places other than the 1.8° or 0.9° locations provided by the full-step and half step methods.
Microstepping positions occur between these two angular points in the rotation of the rotor
The most commonly used microstep increments are 1/5,1/10,1/16,1/32, 1/125 and 1/250 of a full step. Microstep increments chosen by Superior Electric simplify control of both US and metric units of measurement, and also allow finer positioning resolution.
While a full step of 1.8° will give a 0.001 inch resolution when the motor is driving through a lead screw which has a 0.2000 inch lead,resolutions of 0.000008 inch or less are possible using microstepping.
A major benefit of microstepping is that it reduces the amplitude of the resonance that occurs when the motor is operated at its natural frequency or at sub-harmonics of that frequency.
The improved step response and reduced amplitude of the natural resonances result from the finer step angle.
