5mm diameter mini stepper motor planetary gearbox with MIM technology
Description
This is a 5mm diameter small sized stepper motor, with a micro planetary gearbox.
The gear ratio of gearbox is 20.25:1, and it has 2 levels.
The gear ratio can not be changed, on this gearbox.
It’s developed for electronic products, thus it has small size.
The step angle of a single motor is 22.5°/step, thus with a 20.25:1 gearbox, step angle is 22.5°/20.25 per step.
This motor does not have output shaft. Instead it has a blind hole on top, where user can insert a shaft fits its size, thus shaft will rotate with the blind hole, when motor is spinning.
The output connector is a 4 pin FPC, if customer can not find a suitable connector to fit it.
We can change the FPC into other connector type.

Design Drawing

About planetary gearbox (MIM technology)
This planetary gearbox is specifically design drawing micro electronic products such as mobile phone, camera and other small sized products.
It’s a 2 levels gearbox, and the gears and other components inside are made from Metal injection Molding technique (MIM technology).
MIM technology use injection method to produce metallic parts, just like the way we product plastic with injection mold. It can produce high precision metal parts with small size and high precision, which is critical for a mini sized gearbox.
But the equipment of MIM technology is expensive, thus the order quantity of it is higher. Otherwise the cost on each piece of product is too long. So minimum order quantity of MIM is higher, in order to lower average cost.
About geared stepper motors
1.The power input part of the standard stepper motor is available in the form of FPC, FFC, PCB cable, etc.
2.For output shaft, we have two different types of standard shafts:D shaft and screw shaft. If a special axis type is required, we can also customize it, but there is an additional customization cost.
3.8 mm diameter permanent magnet stepper motor with 10*8 mm gear box. The gear box has high precision, high efficiency and low noise, which makes the product have good reliability.
Application
Geared stepper motors, widely used in Smart home, personal care, home appliance equipment, smart medical equipment, smart robot, smart logistics, smart cars, communication equipment, smart wearable devices, consumer electronics, camera equipment, and other industries.

Customization Service

1. Coil resistance/rated voltage: The coil resistance is adjustable, the higher the resistance, the higher the rated voltage of the motor.
2. Bracket design/slider length: If customers want longer or shorter bracket, there are special design, such as mounting holes, it is adjustable.
3. Slider design: the current slider is brass, it can be replaced with plastic to save cost
4. PCB+cable+connector: PCB design, cable length, connector pitch are adjustable, can be replaced with FPC according to customer's need.

FAQ
1.Are you a manufacturer?
Yes, we are a manufacture, and we produces mainly stepper motors.
2.Where is your factory location? Can we visit your factory?
Our factory is located in Changzhou, Jiangsu. Yes, you are very welcome to visit us.
3.Can you provide free samples?
No, we don’t provide free samples. Customers won’t treat free samples fairly.
4.Who pays for shipping cost? Can I use my shipping account?
Customers pay for shipping cost. We will quote you shipping cost.
If you think you have cheaper/more convenient shipping method, we can use you shipping account.
5.What’s you MOQ? Can I order one motor?
We don’t have MOQ, and you can order only one piece sample.
But we recommend you to order a little bit more, just in case the motor is damaged during your testing, and you can have a back-up.
6.We are developing a new project, do you provide customization service? Can we sign a NDA contract?
We have over 20 years of experience in stepper motor industry.
We have developed many projects, we can provide full set customization from design drawing to production.
We are confident we can give you few advice/suggestions for your stepper motor project.
If you are worrying about confidential issues, yes, we can sign a NDA contract.
7.Do you sell drivers? Do you produce them?
Yes, we do sell drivers. They are only suitable for temporary sample test, not suitable for mass production.
We do not produce drivers, we only produce stepper motors
Frequently Asked Question
1.When the stepper motor is powered on, the motor shaft does not rotate how to do?
There are several reasons why the motor does not rotate.:
A.Overload blocking rotation
B.whether the motor has been damaged
C.whether the motor is offline
D.whether the pulse signal CP to zero
2.Stepper motor driver power on, the motor is jittering, can not run, how to do?
Encounter this situation, first check the motor winding and driver connection and not connected to the wrong, such as not connected to the wrong, and then check whether the input pulse signal frequency is too high, whether the lift frequency design is not reasonable.
3.The motor is four-phase six wires, and stepper motor driver as long as the solution four wires, how to use?
For four-phase six-wire motor, the two wires in the middle of the tap are left hanging, and the other four wires are connected to the driver.
