AW60HS Series — NEMA 24 Hybrid Stepper Motor
The AW60HS series is Apexwell's NEMA 24 (60mm) hybrid stepper motor line, offered across four body lengths with holding torque scaling from 1.25 N·m to 2.8 N·m. Sitting between NEMA 23 (AW57HS) and NEMA 34 (AW86HS), the AW60HS fills the gap for applications that need more torque than NEMA 23 offers without stepping up to a NEMA 34 frame, and is available in either 4-wire or 6-wire configurations.

Typical Applications
With torque scaling from 1.25 N·m to 2.8 N·m, the AW60HS series fits mid-size CNC axes, industrial conveyor indexing, packaging machinery, and robotics joints where NEMA 23 doesn't have enough torque headroom and a NEMA 34 motor is larger and heavier than the application needs.
Why Choose the AW60HS Series
The AW60HS gives designers a NEMA 24 option between two more commonly stocked frame sizes, with 4-wire/6-wire flexibility to match either driver type. For applications where occasional step loss under load is a concern, see our article on why closed loop stepper motors are replacing traditional steppers — or go straight to our AW60HS closed loop series, which shares this same motor platform with encoder feedback built in.
We can customize the electrical parameters of the motor and geometric dimensions such as the motor output shaft size according to customer requirements. Accessories including pulleys, eccentric gearboxes, planetary gearboxes and encoders can also be added.
