Taking 3D personal printers to the next level
There is nothing worse than trying to work and having some noisy device disturbing your concentration. With the popularity and use of 3D printers seemingly growing at an astronomical pace, there have been many improvements in the physical size of these printers as well. They have become more and more commonplace on desktops and in environments where quiet operation is essential. That is why selecting the right stepper motor is so crucial; ensuring that the stepper motor is quiet and reliable is extremely important.
Good Bye Noise, Hello Silence!
Faced with a the challenge of designing a desktop 3D printer that needed to be both compact and quiet, design engineers at a large 3D manufacturer knew they needed to be mindful of the noise being generated from all mechanical components within the printer. A crucial part of this process was finding a new stepper motor that matched the torque and speed output of their existing one, but operated in a much quieter fashion.
The applicaiton engineers at Lin Engineering went straight to work to match the company's current motor performance and found that the Z417-11 Whisper Torque Stepper Motor with the patented Signature Series Technology would be a perfect fit and even help improve their exisitng performance. After specifying the Z417-11 Whisper Torque Stepper Motor and customizing its winding, Lin Engineering was able to provide the 3D manufacturer with a stepper motor didn't skip a beat with torque output AND generated much less noise as well. This allowed the 3D manufacturer to meet their design objectives and move forward with product launch.
