These motors rotate at fixed angles by digitally controlled electronic pulses and are used in the paper-feeding devices of printers, copy machines, facsimiles and similar equipment. PM stepping motor use a permanent magnet (PM) as a rotor and contain no ball bearings.

[ Internal Sourcing of All Parts ]
Most of parts used in these motors - from shaft and hub, stator and magnet - other than winding and lead wires are produced in-house, giving Minebea Motor's unmatched advantage in terms of quality, supply capabilities, manufacturing cost and speed of delivery.
Integral molding of a stator reduces assembly processes, thereby making automatic assembly possible. This has contributed to high quality, high quality, high performance and improved productivity.
A plant in Thailand uses Minebea Motor's fully integrated manufacturing system, whereby all processes from machining components to final assembly are conducted in-house.
