Novanta IMS

Novanta IMS provides leading innovations in drives, controls and integrated motion solutions. Their MDrive motion control products deliver exceptional smoothness and performance, ideal for machine builders who want an optimized motor with on-board electronics. The integrated electronics of MDrive products reduce the potential for problems due to electrical noise by eliminating the cable between motor and drive.

Hybrid Stepper Motors

Hybrid stepper motors from IMS are available in rotary sizes NEMA 11 (28 mm) through 34 (85 mm), and linear actuator sizes NEMA 17 (42 mm) and 23 (57 mm). These extremely robust, long-life motors carry out precise step-by-step movements that are controlled by a stepper motor drive, such as MForce, to comprise a stepper motor drive system.

Hybrid stepper motors can be operated at very high resolutions, depending on the stepper motor drive.
