AW86HS Series — 86mm Stepper Motor with Precision Planetary Gearbox
The AW86HS series pairs Apexwell's NEMA 34 (86mm), 1.8° hybrid stepper motor with an HPS90 precision planetary gearbox, offering motor holding torque from 2.6 N·m to 11.0 N·m and rated output torque up to 100 N·m after reduction. With two available gear-train stages and reduction ratios from 4:1 to 70:1, backlash is held to ≤15 arcmin at no load, making this the highest-torque frame size in Apexwell's precision planetary gearmotor platform.

Typical Applications
With backlash held to ≤15 arcmin and output torque up to 100 N·m, the AW86HS precision series fits heavy industrial robotic joints, precision rotary index tables, large-format CNC axes, and automated production machinery where high torque and positioning repeatability are both required and a servo motor system is more than the application needs.
Why Choose the AW86HS Precision Gearmotor
Backlash of ≤15 arcmin makes this series suitable for applications where positioning repeatability matters more than cost, even at the highest torque levels in Apexwell's stepper-planetary lineup. Eight body lengths and two current options at the most common lengths let designers dial in torque and current draw independently, and 12 reduction ratios across two gear-train stages extend that flexibility to output speed and torque. Noise is held to ≤55 dB despite the frame's size and torque capacity. For applications where backlash tolerance is less critical, Apexwell's standard planetary gearmotor line on the same frame offers a lower-cost alternative. Custom shaft configurations and encoder feedback are available on request.
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.
