ME260T030EC : Stepper motor, close loop 3.0Nm
Closed-loop stepper motor, 60mm flange, 5.0 A/phase, 3.0 Nm / 30.6 kg-cm holding torque, built-in encoder.
Overview
The ME260T030EC is a closed-loop stepper motor with a 60mm flange, the smallest and lowest-torque motor in this catalogue's easy-servo range.
It draws 5.0 A per phase (0.5 ohm winding resistance, 2.22 mH inductance) and holds 3.0 Nm / 30.6 kg-cm at standstill, at a standard 1.8 degree step angle. It weighs 1.536 kg. Unlike an open-loop stepper motor, it carries a built-in encoder on the back of the shaft, which is what lets a closed-loop drive detect and correct a missed step instead of the motor silently stalling under a sudden load.
That encoder only does anything paired with a closed-loop drive built to read it - this catalogue's SDW60, which is rated for 57/60mm frame motors and matches this motor's flange directly. The encoder and power connections between the two are separate cables (EC1-030/EC1-080 and PC1-030/PC1-080 in this catalogue), sold apart from both the motor and the drive.
For more torque in a larger 86mm flange instead, the ME286-series motors in this range start at 4.5 Nm / 45.9 kg-cm and pair with the SDW86 drive.

Questions
This is your smallest closed-loop motor — is it a genuine easy-servo unit, or a token entry at the bottom?
Genuine — it's the smallest and lowest-torque motor in the easy-servo range, but it's still a real closed-loop unit: 3.0 Nm / 30.6 kg-cm with the same built-in encoder concept as the larger motors.
Which drive does this actually pair with?
The SDW60 — rated for 57/60mm frame motors and matching this motor's flange directly.
If I need more torque than this 60mm motor gives, what's the next step up?
The ME286-series motors — a larger 86mm flange, starting at 4.5 Nm / 45.9 kg-cm, pairing with the SDW86 drive instead.
Does buying this include the drive or cables?
No — motor only. The SDW60 drive and the encoder/power cables (EC1-030/EC1-080, PC1-030/PC1-080) are all sold separately.
