I am working on an application that seems especially well suited to using a stepper motor and drive. Could you comment on who the top 3 suppliers are in the stepper market in terms of performance and reliability. I am looking at a motor that will produce about 200 oz-in at 16 RPS in a size 34 frame and a fairly generic drive (direction and pulsetrain type inputs).

So far I have talked to Compumotor.

Thanks for opinions...

Try Pacific Scientific and Oriental Motor Company. These 2 are some of the bigger ones.

 

I have used Compumotor for years and have never been dissapointed. Their Zeta drive systems are excellent and would do exactly what you want.

 

Take a look at Applied Motion Products ( "applied-motion.com":http://applied-motion.com ). Good prices and easy to program control software. They also just have drives and motors if that is what you want.

Good Luck!

 

well u can contact to "rs-component"
just click on the google put RS component string and u can visit all kinds of motor.
hope it helps
bye

Try to contact the JEIL MTECH, "www.steppingdriver.co.kr":http://www.steppingdriver.co.kr . I had been used many stepper drives, but I couldn't find any manufacturers which have more competitive price than JEIL.
