What drive does this motor need?

It is a bipolar motor rated at 65 V DC and 5.2 A, so pair it with a bipolar stepper drive rated above that current and a supply that can deliver it. Kollmorgen's own drives are the natural match.

How much torque does it produce?

Kollmorgen does not publish a single torque figure in this listing. The rare earth magnet inserts are there to hold torque as speed rises, so check the torque-speed curve for your drive voltage before sizing.

Is 1.8° per step accurate enough?

1.8° gives 200 full steps per revolution. With microstepping on a modern drive you get much finer positioning, though accuracy still depends on load and tuning.

Can it run at 1500 RPM?

Yes, 1500 RPM is the rated speed. Torque drops as speed climbs, so confirm the motor still has enough pull for your load at that speed.

Does it have an encoder?

No. This is a standard open-loop hybrid stepper, so there is no feedback. Add a separate encoder if your application needs position verification.

Industrial automation: indexing tables, linear actuators, packaging and pick-and-place axes, and other machines that need a NEMA 34 stepper with solid torque.
