Product Description:

The CTP32NLS36KAA00 is a hybrid stepper motor produced by Kollmorgen for the CT Stepper Motors series. Featuring a Size 34 frame with a straight keyway shaft and NEMA through-hole mounting, the unit provides digital position control without an internal feedback device. It translates pulse trains from a drive into stable incremental motion, making it suitable for indexing tables, labeling stations, and small actuators in industrial automation.

Electrical characteristics indicate compatibility with mid-range microstepping drives. The motor advances in increments of 1.8°, giving 200 full steps per revolution for repeatable indexing without an encoder. Under bipolar excitation, it produces a holding torque of 7.8 N-m, enabling direct drive of belt stages or lead screws that demand moderate thrust. Each phase draws 3.6 A at the rated operating point, and the phase resistance of 1.63 Ω influences copper losses and drive sizing. The winding inductance of 7.6 mH affects the inductive time constant, so the drive must supply sufficiently high voltage during rapid step rates to maintain current rise and prevent torque loss at higher speeds.

The shaft tolerates an axial load of 100 lb in either direction, and the bearing set permits 65 lb of radial force at the shaft center, so couplings and pulleys may be mounted without additional outboard support. A rotor inertia of 2.61 kg-cm² moderates acceleration, letting the drive apply step frequencies that avoid resonance while still reaching target speed quickly. The housing conducts heat to ambient through a thermal resistance of 1.55 °C/W, which, together with the motor’s 3.0 kg mass, keeps winding temperature within the Class B limit during continuous duty. Lead connections are supplied as six 22 AWG wires, simplifying series or parallel hookup to different drive topologies.
