Notes on this data

Catalogue Ver.10.2. Sanyo specifies flange in mm, not NEMA - nema_sizes left empty rather than mapped. 106 mm is round (o106). current_A_max 6 A/phase is the 56 mm bipolar max from the 2021 product news; catalogue drivers are 1-4 A/phase at 24 VDC. Applications are from the 56 mm product news.

Alternatives that meet or exceed these figures

Engineers often come to us with a Sanyo Denki part number and leave with an alternative that is easier to source, quicker to deliver or a better fit for the machine. These 3 series from our supply network are the closest match on published figures.

Figures are the highest published for each series and are not always measured the same way. A higher figure is not automatically a better choice: mounting, duty cycle, feedback, connectors and approvals matter too. An engineer will check the fit against your application before recommending anything.
