Baldor Electric Co. (UK) launched a new range of micro-stepping motors with onboard drive electronics, the DSM Series, which are well suited in instrumentation, test, medical devices and machinery adjustment applications. There are three frame size choices for the DSM Series, each in three motor lengths, offering a choice of nine torque ratings spanning 32 oz-in to 1,061 oz-in.

Baldor launches an innovative solution for implementing machinery and motion control systems using the industry-standard Ethernet Powerlink protocol. Consisting of servo motor drives, a full-function machine controller that will also manage over 200 axes of motion, and a license-free software environment, the range provides machine builders with the platform to make radical progress.
