Some question on high power nema 11 motor

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a high power stepper motor for a project where I'm trying to minimize the size of the device. In essence, the Nema size of the stepper directly dictates how shallow I will be able to design the device (the length of the motor doesn't really matter, also the price is secondary). Now the stepper should produce a holding torque of at least 0.27 Nm (=38 oz-in) and keep that torque up fairly well to around 400 RPM. The best I could find with these prerequisites was a Nema 14 stepper from www.oyostepper.com:
www.oyostepper.com/goods-20-Nema-14-Step...35x52mm-4-Wires.html

However, I would like to be able to reduce the size even further than the 35 mm given by this motor. Any advice on where I could find small but high-power steppers, maybe a Nema 11 with similar power? Or any other ideas for alternatives?

This is my first post on electronicspoint so I'm looking forward to start interacting with you guys :)

Cheers
Somania

At work our machines use some steppers from Oriental Motors, Japanese not chinese :)
Top notch quality

Those are small and some torque

Maybe a servo and reduction gearing?

I just tried building a combination here:
www.maxongroup.co.uk/maxon/view/catalog/?target=combination0
(I doubt the link will work for you) using an EC30 motor (9000 rpm / 0.06 Nm) and a 21:1 gearhead, giving something like 3Nm @ 400rpm. That's a lot more than you asked for, so perhaps you could go down to an EC20....
I leave you to explore the options there. But be warned that when you add encoders etc you end up with an expensive thing.)
