The new N6 from Nanotec is a compact and powerful controller/drive for stepper motors (NEMA 14 to 34) and BLDC motors up to NEMA 23.
With field-oriented control (FOC), the N6 ensures smooth operation and high energy efficiency. Its sensorless closed-loop control provides precise management of torque and speed. The controller/drive supports Hall sensors, incremental encoders (QEI), and SSI encoders. An external braking resistor can also be connected.
Rated at 6 A continuous and up to 18 A peak, the N6 is ideal for applications up to 300 W. It features six digital and two analog inputs, three feedback channels, and a brake output, making it easy to integrate into complex systems. The N6 can be programmed and parameterized with Nanotec’s free software Plug&Drive Studio, and supports EtherCAT, CANopen, Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP, and Modbus RTU.
The controller/drive is designed for demanding applications in laboratory automation, medical technology, packaging equipment, SMD assembly, and winding systems. STO (Safe Torque Off) functionality will be available soon.
