RS PRO Hybrid Stepper Motor 12V, 1.8° Step Angle, 42.3 x 42.3 mm Frame, 5 mm Shaft, Unipolar, 310mA, IP65, 180-5279

The RS PRO 180-5279 Hybrid Stepper Motor is a high-precision motion device designed for demanding automation applications, combining the benefits of variable reluctance and permanent magnet stepper motors. Operating at 12V, it delivers consistent, controlled movement in discrete 1.8° steps, making it suitable for tasks requiring exceptional accuracy and repeatability.

This stepper motor features a robust 42.3 x 42.3 mm frame to fit a broad range of mounting requirements, complemented by a 5 mm shaft diameter and a shaft length of 22 mm. The unipolar 6-lead configuration simplifies interfacing with controllers and driver circuits, providing flexibility in application design. With its 310 mA current rating and 38.5 Ω phase resistance, the motor maintains reliable performance across a range of step modes - including wave drive, full step, half step, and micro-stepping.

The RS PRO 180-5279 is designed for durability with an enclosure that achieves IP65 and IP54 ratings, offering protection against dust ingress and water splashes. The holding torque of 0.158 Nm ensures that mechanical loads can be held precisely in position even at low operational speeds, while the 1.8° step angle enables up to 200 steps per revolution - well-suited for CNC axes, medical diagnostic devices, 3D printers, robotics, digital imaging equipment, and other mechatronic systems.

Engineers benefit from the lightweight yet tough construction, enabling straightforward installation and minimizing system inertia. Its hybrid stepper technology allows for high torque outputs without sacrificing power efficiency, making it an optimal choice for both high-precision industrial processes and laboratory automation.

Further, the RS PRO 180-5279’s compatibility with multiple international approvals (UL, CSA, NEMA, CE, RoHS) underscores its suitability for use in a wide array of regulated industries worldwide. The product's technical parameters also accommodate demanding cycles and diverse applications in electric motor drives, stepper-controlled actuators, and high-reliability instrumentation.

Typical use cases for this stepper motor include CNC machine stages, positioners in medical scanners, high-precision office equipment such as large-format printers, digital cameras requiring precise lens control, and hard disk or optical disc drive actuators. Its resilience and precise step operation ensure dependable results for engineers and system integrators alike.
