StepSERVO™ Integrated Motors
StepSERVO™ is the Next Evolution in Step Motor Technology. Starting with a proven integrated motor design, we add a high-resolution incremental encoder and closed-loop servo firmware to create a motor that offers the best step motor performance available today. StepSERVO™ Integrated Motors offer the same high-torque-at-low-speed and excellent holding torque characteristics of open loop stepping motors, with the advantages of true closed-loop control.
StepSERVO™ Drives
The AK Series StepSERVO Drives deliver high-performance motion control in a compact, DIN rail-mountable package for today's demanding automation systems. Designed for use with Applied Motion StepSERVO motors, the AK Series supports open-loop stepper, closed-loop stepper, and full closed-loop servo operation on a single platform. With support for pulse train control as well as RS-485, EtherCAT, CANopen, EtherNet/IP, and Modbus TCP communications, the AK Series integrates seamlessly into both new and existing automation systems.
Featuring a battery-less multi-turn absolute encoder, the AK Series eliminates time-consuming homing routines and the need for external position sensors, reducing machine startup time and simplifying system design. Advanced closed-loop control eliminates lost steps while reducing motor heat, vibration, and power consumption. Commissioning is fast and intuitive using the new Stepper Suite II software for configuration, monitoring, and diagnostics, making the AK Series an ideal solution for packaging, material handling, medical, semiconductor, robotics, and general industrial automation applications.

MDX+ Integrated Servo Motors
The MDX+ Series is a family of compact, integrated low-voltage servo systems that combine the servo drive, brushless servo motor, and encoder into a single space-saving package. Available in 40 mm, 60 mm, and 80 mm frame sizes with power ratings from 100 W to 750 W, the MDX+ supports pulse train control (Pulse & Direction, CW/CCW, Encoder Following) as well as RS485, EtherCAT, CANopen, and EtherNet/IP communication protocols for seamless integration into a wide range of automation systems.
Optional features including electromagnetic brakes, Safe Torque Off (STO), and absolute encoders provide enhanced safety, positioning accuracy, and machine reliability. Ideal for applications such as logistics, AGVs, medical equipment, semiconductor manufacturing, solar automation, and general industrial machinery, the MDX+ delivers high-performance motion control in a compact, cost-effective solution.
Every MDX+ servo system is commissioned using LUNA, Applied Motion's intuitive software for configuration, tuning, monitoring, and diagnostics via USB, allowing for quick setup and simplified troubleshooting.
STM Integrated Steppers
STM integrated drive+motors fuse step motor and drive components into a single device. These integrated steppers offer a space-saving design that reduces wiring and saves on cost over separate motor and drive components. STM integrated steppers, in NEMA 17, 23, and 24 frame sizes, combine the best of Applied Motion’s drive and motor offering in a single, integrated device.
Stepper Drives
Step motor drives from Applied Motion Products offer unparalleled performance for today's modern machine builders. From the ground up these drives offer best-in-class current control for optimal smoothness and torque, robust and flexible on-board control options, and industry-standard industrial network communications.
HT/HW Stepper Motors
Applied Motion Products specializes in offering two-phase, hybrid step motors in a variety of frame sizes. These motors are designed to work optimally with Applied Motion stepper drives, ensuring smooth motion and high performance in every application.
EtherNet/IP Products
With EtherNet/IP users can control, configure and query drives using an open, standards-based, industrial Ethernet connection at speeds up to 100 MBits/sec.
Applied Motion drives and motors with EtherNet/IP – designated by “IP” in the model number – run all of the same control modes as “Q” drives, with the addition that all drive features can be accessed over EtherNet/I. EtherNet/IP is an industrial Ethernet network solution built on the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP), and is supported by the ODVA.
