Hollow Shaft Stepper Motor
A hollow shaft step motor has a machined hole running axially through the center of the motor, in place of where the shaft would normally be. Hollow shaft stepper motors are typically used in applications where the ability to run cables, wires, or other components through the motor's center is a significant advantage. The stepper motor itself provides precise, incremental motion and position control, making it suitable for systems requiring high accuracy and repeatability. By providing a direct interface between the motor and the load without the need for external couplings, hollow shaft stepper motors are widely used in robotics, 3D printing, CNC machines, automated systems, and other industrial applications. While they may be more expensive and have limitations in terms of torque output, the design's benefits, such as space efficiency, precision, and easy integration. The key features of hollow shaft stepping motors are the hollow center shaft, allowing for cables, shafts, or other components to pass through the motor, eliminating the need for additional couplings or shaft extensions.
