X-NMS-E Series
Stepper motors with built-in controllers, motor encoders, and optional brakes
About This Series
These NEMA size 17 and 23 stepper motors have built-in controllers and encoders for stall detection and recovery. A detachable home sensor HS02 and magnet are included. An additional HS02L150 Hall effect sensor can be purchased to function as an away sensor. These motors are standalone units requiring only a standard 24 V or 48 V power supply.
An indexed knob provides convenient manual control for versatile operation even without a computer. The motors connect to the USB 2.0 or RS-232 port of any computer and can be daisy-chained with any other Zaber products. Convenient locking, 4-pin, M8 connectors on the unit allow for secure connection between units. An optional power-off brake is available on NEMA 23 sized steppers to secure the payload across power cycles. The chain also shares power, so multiple X-Series products can use a single power supply.
- An indexed knob provides convenient manual control.
- Integrated motor encoder, stepper motor controller and motor driver allows for easy-to-use control with stall detection.
- The stepper motor is matched to the built-in controller; no need to adjust parameters.
- 200 step per revolution stepper motor, microstepped up to 256X to provide smooth and precise motion, with speed from 0.017°/s to 3000 rpm.
- Control all units in the daisy-chain via serial port (with a locking X-SDC cable) or USB (with an X-USBDC cable).
- Daisy-chain additional units with a locking X-DC02 cable or X-DC06 cable. Power can also be shared in the chain.
- Standard NEMA 17 or 23 mounting interface, easily adapted to your application.
- Magnetic home sensor can be mounted in a standard 4 mm T-slot or to any other surface with a screw to enable precision detection of home position.
- Optional second magnetic sensor (HS01L149) enables precision detection of away position.
- An optional power-off brake is available on NEMA 23 sized steppers to secure payload across power cycles.

Easy Set-Up
Zaber's devices can share both data and power through a daisy-chain, which reduces cabling and makes set-up as easy as 1, 2, 3:
- Connect the Zaber device to your computer via USB or RS-232 port.
- Connect the power supply to your Zaber device.
- Send instructions or automate your set-up using the Zaber Launcher.
