​^What is the industry's leading motor that realizes high speed and low noise in equipment?

The key to the new high-performance sample analyzer under development is speeding up testing

Company X develops and provides various analytical solutions for medical and research facilities, such as biochemical analyzers. The company decided to develop a new high-performance sample analyzer with the aim of expanding sales to more testing contract companies.
In developing the product, Company X narrowed its target down to testing contract companies and conducted research. Director E of the company's R&D department said the following:
"Many of the companies that undertake testing were looking to further shorten the time it took for testing equipment to obtain results. To increase testing speed, it was necessary to increase the speed of operation while maintaining positioning accuracy. Also, we wanted to open many testing bases in competitive urban centers, but space is limited in these centers and testing equipment is often located close to people, so we also considered low noise to be an important point. However, our current motors were not able to meet these requirements." (Mr. E)

In addition, the device could not be made any larger so that it could be installed in a small space. To maintain the size of the device, it was necessary to find a motor with better performance. Mr. E began to gather information on motors that met these requirements.

Torque performance improved by approximately 40%, noise level reduced by 4.9dB(A).
"Industry-leading" stepping motors achieve higher speeds, lower noise levels, and lower energy consumption without changing size

When Mr. E consulted with a distributor with whom he had previously done business on a different project about these issues, he was introduced to SANYO DENKI CO., LTD. motors. Mr. E was intrigued by the phrase "industry-leading torque performance" and decided to hear more about it.

A few days later, a SANYO DENKI CO., LTD. representative met with Mr. E and his team, and after listening to their issues in detail, proposed the 56mm square 2-phase stepping motor "SANMOTION F2 ( 2-phase )."
"I heard that the torque performance was improved by about 40% compared to previous products from other companies (56 mm square). This gave us hope that we could meet the requirement of significantly shortening positioning time without changing the size. In addition, the noise level has been reduced by 4.9 dB(A) and the efficiency has increased by 2.4%, so I thought it would also contribute to quieter equipment and more energy-efficient devices." (Mr. E)

Successfully released new model, contributing to increased sales for testing institutions

Satisfied with the motor's specifications, the development staff at Company X immediately incorporated it into a prototype and evaluated it, concluding that it would meet the company's desired requirements. Soon after, Company X decided to officially adopt the 56mm square 2-phase stepping motor "SANMOTION F2 ( 2-phase )".

After that, Company X successfully released the sample analyzer, and Mr. E says that he is currently feeling a great response from the market.
"We have heard from many testing institutions about introducing the system, which has led to expanded sales channels and increased sales. We have heard from the testing institutions that they have seen a significant increase in sales because they can now get test results faster. We have also heard words of gratitude from the on-site staff at the testing institutions, who say that the improved performance has made their entire work flow more smoothly and has led to a reduction in long working hours. Replacing the motor was the right decision. We are grateful to SANYO DENKI CO., LTD.." (Mr. E)
