COMPARISON • As motors step, inertia makes the rotor oscillate about its new position (the motor’s settling time). • This natural back and forth movement might sometimes contribute to the erratic movement of motors. • Using the new Zen Motor Technology will translate these movements into smaller oscillations and thus, smoother motion. • This reduced step response time ultimately results in much improved motor performance. • Here is a motor’s settling time comparison chart between the already smooth Lin 0.9 stepper versus the new Zen Motor. Without Lin’s Damping Technology = 0.24 Seconds With Lin’s Damping Technology = 0.04 Seconds 
Get Exactly What You Need
In motion control, no two designs are the same.

We’ve Reinvented the Step Motor
Conventional hybrid stepper motor utilizes a permanent magnet in the rotor. Our patented design uses a ring magnet in the stator instead. This drastically reduces the detent torque (unenergized drag torque) because the magnetic flux path is able to reach over the stator windings and go through only the outer edge of the rotor. Reducing detent torque improves accuracy, smooth operation and reduces noise. Best of all, modifying the magnet location does not change the dynamic torque.
Zen technology significantly reduces vibration without the use of external dampers: this results in extremely smooth and accurate motion.
Cost effective alternative to 5-phase systems
With use of our Zen Technology we’re able to reduce resonance by up to 50% over a standard motor. This makes the ZEN motors an attractive and cost effective alternative to costly 5-phase systems.
Extreme accuracy
Z-Series motor maintains ±1.5 arc minutes error under 64x microstepping. Industry average can range from ±4.5 to ±18 arc minutes in 0.9° step motors.
Quiet Operation
By eliminating detent torque, the motor operates substantially quieter than regular hybrid stepper motor.
Application
Vibration can cause serious problems when smooth and precise motion is critical. This is especially the case in the semiconductor industry where assemblies are getting exponentially smaller or medial applications where precision and accuracy could literally be a life or death matter.
