M063-FD06U by Danaher

The Danaher M063-FD06U stepping motor from the Slo-Syn Stepping Motors series delivers a robust combination of high acceleration and precise motion control in a compact, lightweight package. This motor features a 5 VDC supply voltage and achieves a maximum acceleration of 100,000 rad/sec^2, enabling rapid starts and stops suitable for high-performance automation tasks. With a maximum slew speed of 15,000 rpm (with an alternate option of 7,000 rpm), the M063-FD06U supports demanding dynamic profiles. Its dual-channel quadrature output provides accurate position feedback, while a bearing life rating of 2e9 revolutions (L10) ensures exceptional durability and minimal maintenance. The device weighs just 2.1 ounces (with an alternate 6-ounce option), making it ideal for weight-sensitive applications.

The M063-FD06U is designed with precise mechanical tolerances and versatile mounting features. It offers two bore diameter options—0.250 in or 0.375 in—and includes 2 x #4-40 mounting holes on a 1.812 in bolt circle at 180°, ensuring easy installation. The motor’s moment of inertia ranges from 2.6 x10^-4 to 5.0 x10^-4 oz-in-sec^2, optimized for rapid response without overshoot. Shaft specifications include a minimum length of 0.56 in, a required length of 0.70 in, and diameters precisely controlled to 0.2495–0.2500 in for small bore or 0.3745–0.3750 in for large bore shafts. Perpendicularity is held within 0.005 in TIR, and endplay tolerances are maintained between -0.010 and -0.060 in.

Operational performance is enhanced by the motor’s frequency response up to 100 kHz, with deviation under 0.5% at 50 kHz and under 1% overall, ensuring stable operation across a broad control bandwidth. The dual-channel quadrature format offers a minimum edge separation of 45° along with integrated index and complementary outputs for refined feedback. Strain relief is rated at 10 lb pull, reinforcing cable integrity in demanding installations. The motor produces minimal vibration and noise at full speed, and its robust bearing life contributes to continuous operation in industrial automation. Its compact mass and low inertia facilitate rapid acceleration to full speed, maximizing throughput in high-cycle applications.

System integration is streamlined through standardized mounting and electrical interfaces, enabling quick adoption in precision motion control systems. The M063-FD06U is well suited for robotic actuators, CNC mills, pick-and-place machines, and other industrial automation equipment requiring repeatable positioning and long service life. Its dual bore options and compact weight support usage in space-constrained assemblies, while the high slew speed and acceleration capabilities meet modern production requirements. As part of Danaher’s Slo-Syn Stepping Motors lineup, the M063-FD06U addresses the needs of engineers implementing advanced motion solutions in industrial environments.
