Designed to complement the existing 0.72º stepping motor, the PK 20mm has a 20mm (0.79 in.) frame size and 50g (1.77 oz.) mass, making it perfectly suited for applications with little available space.

The PK 20mm motors are the smallest available stepping motors in the PK Series from Oriental Motor and have a small, lightweight body. Combined with high torque technology, they are able to meet current and future needs for a compact, space saving stepping motor with multiple step angles and performance characteristics.

The compact and powerful PK 20mm is ideal for applications where size, weight and stack length are important. With its high torque, the PK 20mm 1.8º produces more torque with a smaller stack length (30mm) than the competition's (30~33mm).
