NEMA 42 Stepper Motor 30Nm 256mm

Stepper Motors are ingenious electromechanical devices that are quite distinct from standard DC Motors and Servo Motors, as they specialise in rotational torque, holding torque and linear motion along guiderails or defined paths. The incredibly high level of precision in rotation and power results in consistent accuracy that you can not only rely on, but even use as tools of measurement if necessary due to the high precision, specific step angles, and predefined steps per full revolution. If you are building your own CNC machine, 3D Printer or other DIY electromechanical equipment, be sure the stepper motor you choose from our Range of quality Stepper Motors has the necessary torque, speed, step resolutions and pulse count you need to enjoy the best functionality for your project.

If you are looking for genuine raw power to move large objects along linear paths, this NEMA 42 Stepper Motor is the ideal choice for the job. Offering an incredible holding torque of 30Nm, or 300kg.cm, there are few motors that can provide as much power as this one can. Thanks to the sheer rotational force that this stepper motor can offer, it is designed for extremely heavy loads, such as moving heavy production cameras or large loads of rubble and other materials along a linear path. The holding torque is also capable of maintaining around 3 tons, allowing it to even hold up a small truck if the task so requires it. This ensures that, almost regardless of the load you are eager to hold or move, the Nema 42 is more than capable of taking on the challenge you present it with.

In terms of physical specifications, the frame size of this motor is 110 x 110mm with a body length of 256mm and a total weight of 12kg. The shaft length is 55mm while the shaft diameter is 19mm, with an extra spine running along it to increase grip and is called a keyway shaft. This is an important feature for a motor this powerful, as extreme weight would typically cause motors to slip and possibly burn out. Fortunately, this stepper motor is designed to be utilised for extreme loads, making it a great choice for applications in which a very heavy load needs to be moved along a linear path – while even offering precision accuracy due to the 1.8° step angle.

 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS FOR THE NEMA 42 STEPPER MOTOR (30NM, 256MM):

The power of the Nema 42 Stepper Motor allows it to be used in almost any application, as it can not only move extreme loads, but can also do so with precision accuracy. Capable of a holding torque of around 3 tons, the Nema 42 is an excellent choice for moving loads along linear paths. This includes moving heavy production cameras along a dolly, transporting rubble or other materials along a conveyor belt, or for lifting and lowering very heavy objects up or down shafts.

Whether you are looking at building your own hoist for vehicles or are interested in creating a belt system to move large amounts of dirt or rocks, the Nema 42 Stepper Motors is one of the most capable motors available to consumers.
