RV Series High-Performance Folded Stepper Motor Rotation Stages
RV Series High-Performance Folded Stepper Motor Rotation Stages
The RV Series steel rotation stages combine high precision positioning and extremely high load capacities to operate in a large variety of conditions for scientific and industrial applications. Four stage sizes and two folded stepper motor configurations are available, as is a vacuum compatible version. A folded motor may provide the RV stage with a more desirable footprint in certain systems. For applications requiring the highest torque, the BPE stepper motor version is recommended. Also, open-loop stepper motors can be a lower cost alternative to certain closed-loop DC servo systems.
- Ideal for high load applications with up to 6500 N load and torque capacity of 80 N·m
- Folded motor may provide a more desirable footprint in certain systems
- All steel, single monolithic construction offers high stiffness and thermal stability
- Double row preloaded ball bearings allow for high off-center loads in a reduced footprint
- Precision ground and hardened worm gear with self-compensating preload
- Lower cost alternative to certain closed-loop DC servo systems See All Features

Features
Steel Construction
The tool steel construction ensures enhanced rotation accuracy due to the ground bearing surfaces. The single monolithic design offers improved stiffness and thermal stability without compromising dynamic performance.
Highest Load Capacity
The double row of preloaded ball bearings allows for higher off center loads for its small footprint. The largest member of the RV stepper motor product family can bear up to 650 kg or rotate up to 20 °/s while maintaining eccentricity of less than 4 µm.
Full-Step and Mini-Step Stepper Motors
Full-step (BPE and PE) and mini-step (BPP) versions of the RV stepper motor stages are available. The full-step version is equipped with a reduction gear to obtain higher torque and is primarily designed for applications requiring the direct positioning accuracy to be maintained to within the stage's mechanical resolution when power is switched off. The mini-step versions offer a 1/10-step per encoder count, enabling speed of up to 20°/sec. These stages feature a worm-mounted rotary encoder for improved accuracy and repeatability and to detect motor stalling.
Vacuum Compatible Versions
Vacuum compatible verions of the RV series full-step stepper motor stages are available. They can be used in vacuum environment down to 10-6 hPa. Check out our vacuum products brochure for more information. Contact us today to discuss your application requirements.
