Zero Detent Torque

Lin Engineering's Z series motors, specifically the ZH417 and ZN417 models, are engineered to deliver virtually zero detent torque, resulting in exceptionally smooth motion and enhanced precision and accuracy in operation. These motors are distinguished by their superior performance, maintaining an accuracy of ±1.5 arc minutes under 64x microstepping. This level of precision is significantly higher than the industry standard for 0.9° step motors, which typically exhibit an error range of ±4.5 to ±18 arc minutes. This makes the Z series an ideal choice for applications demanding high accuracy and minimal mechanical resistance.

Z-Series Motor with ZEN Technology

Content image

Lin Engineering's Z-Series “Zen” technology significantly reduces vibrations in DC motors, achieving extremely smooth and accurate motion without the need for external dampers. This innovation enhances performance by minimizing mechanical disturbances, allowing for more precise control and reliability in applications that require high levels of accuracy and smoothness. Zen technology thus offers a superior alternative by integrating vibration reduction directly into the motor's design.
