Brushless DC Motor

NEMA 17 / 42 mm Brushless DC Motor

42 mm brushless DC motor available in circular-flange (75 mm body, 2 pole-pair) and square-flange (50/63/75 mm body, 5 pole-pair) configurations, with Star-wound windings and Hall sensor feedback as standard, delivering strong torque density and dynamic performance in robotics, laboratory automation, medical devices, AGV/AMR systems, and industrial automation.

Available in five standard configurations — 42ZWC75L-1, 42ZWC75L-2, 42ZWS50X-1, 42ZWS63X-1, and 42ZWS75X-1 — with rated power up to 209.4 W, rated torque up to 0.2 N·m, and no-load speed up to 12,000 RPM, with optional planetary gearbox and incremental encoder configurations available for precision motion applications.
