POWERMAX II sets the world performance standard for NEMA 23 step motors. At up to 253 oz-in.holding torque, you wont' find a more powerful two inch stepper.
    Another POWERMAX II advantage? Design for manufacturability. That makes these compact steppers economical without compromising reliability or features - such as long life bearings, high temperature insulation and quality magnet materials. DFM also means we can build POWERMAX II to your specifications, in the volumes you need, according to your JIT or other delivery schedule. Whether you require a simple drive shaft flat or an integral lead screw, POWERMAX II motors are made to your order.
    Standard POWERMAX II motors come in half, single and two stacks that provide holding torques from 42 to 253 oz-in.
