Applied Motion Products HT17-155 Step Motor With Encoder

Applied Motion Products HT17-155 Step Motor with Optical Encoder E2-500-197-IH is a NEMA 17 two‑phase hybrid step motor in the HT17 family, built for high torque in a compact form factor. This variant ships with an optical encoder (E2-500-197-IH) to provide encoder feedback for compatible control systems. HT17 motors are designed to the standard NEMA 17 footprint and offer encoder options to enable feedback‑capable operation when paired with suitable StepSERVO drives. With encoder feedback, the motor can support closed‑loop style control on drives that support encoder‑enabled operation, improving positioning precision and velocity response in automated systems. Common applications include precision positioning and slow‑to‑medium speed motion in automation, robotics, CNC, packaging, and assembly lines, where reliable microstepping and feedback‑driven control help reduce resonance and improve repeatability. The HT17 family emphasizes high torque in a compact package, and the E2 encoder option provides a path to enhanced control without moving to a full servo solution.
