NEMA 23 Hybrid Servo kit (closed-loop stepper system):
one Hybrid Servo Driver KL-5080H, one NEMA23 KL-23-2N-1000 Hybrid Servo Motor with one Encoder 1000 line
A: KL-5080H, 3-phase Hybrid Servo Driver for NEMA23 Hybrid Servo Motor
20-50V, 8.0A Peak, No Tuning, Nulls loss of Synchronization
Closed-loop, eliminates loss of synchronization
Broader operating range – higher torque and higher speed
Reduced motor heating and more efficient
Smooth motion and super-low motor noise
Do not need a high torque margin
No Tuning and always stable
Fast response, no delay and almost no settle time
High torque at starting and low speed, high stiffness at standstill
Lower cost
B: NEMA23 Hybrid Servo Motor, KL23-2N-1000, 1/4" shaft
Rated Torque 282 oz-in, 2 N-m, with one Encoder 1000 line
1000 pulses per revolution
Quadrature digital signals: 4000 steps per revolution
4000 / .05 pitch
80,000 counts per unit
