Customizations

Hollow shaft stepper motors can be customized to meet application-specific mechanical, electrical, and integration requirements. The hollow shaft design is especially useful when cabling, tubing, light transmission, or a rotating pass-through is needed through the motor axis.

Shaft Configuration

Single shaft, double shaft, custom shaft length, D-cut, flat, or application-specific machining.

Electrical

Rated current, voltage, winding, lead wire length, connector type, and cable routing requirements.

Feedback Options

Hollow type encoder assembly options, encoder integration, closed-loop feedback, and positioning support for higher accuracy requirements.

Mechanical Fit

Custom mounting details, bearing considerations, through-hole requirements, and compact package needs.

Environmental

Application-specific protection, coating, durability, corrosion resistance, and clean operation needs.

Production Support

Prototype, quick-ship evaluation, and production-level customization for OEM equipment builds.

Application Review

Review holding torque, speed, load, duty cycle, and driver selection with the DINGS’ Motion USA team.

Custom Integration

Designed around your system to simplify installation, improve fit, and support repeatable production.

Encoder Options

NEMA 8 / 20mm

NEMA 8 hollow shaft motors can support hollow type encoder assembly options. Encoder selection is available for feedback requirements such as position confirmation, speed monitoring, and closed-loop motion control.
