Who is Nanotec and what does it make?
Nanotec Electronic GmbH is a German manufacturer of compact stepper motors and servo motors, founded in 1995 and headquartered in Feldkirchen, near Munich. The range covers hybrid stepper motors in sizes from NEMA 6 to NEMA 42, with torque from 0.62 to 2,500 Ncm, plus BLDC servo motors and linear actuators. From the Nanotec portfolio we can quote standard motors, flat versions, hollow-shaft versions, versions with IP65 protection or with a controller/drive integrated directly on the motor.
Nanotec offers motors for precision automation, with sensorless control technology, which calculates the rotor position without a physical encoder — useful where mounting space or the cost of an additional encoder is an issue. The hybrid motors in the range cover standard step angles of 0.9° or 1.8°, chosen according to the positioning accuracy required.
For installations in Romania, Nanotec motors make sense for laboratory equipment, optical devices, machine tools and analytical instruments where precise positioning is needed in a compact size, without the complexity of a servo motor with an external encoder.
What do we supply from the Nanotec range?
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| Hybrid Stepper Motors | Stepper motors in sizes from NEMA 6 to NEMA 42, with torque from 0.62 to 2,500 Ncm and a standard step angle of 0.9° or 1.8°, used for precise positioning in laboratory equipment, machine tools or analytical instruments. |
| Motors with Integrated Controller/Drive | Stepper motor versions with the control electronics mounted directly on the motor housing, which reduce the number of separate components in the electrical panel and simplify the cabling route. |
| Motors with IP65 Protection and Hollow Shaft | Special motor versions, with IP65 protection for dusty or humid environments, and with a hollow shaft for applications where a cable or a shaft has to pass through the centre of the motor. |
| BLDC Servo Motors | Brushless DC servo motors, used where the application requires higher speeds or a dynamic response better than a classic stepper motor. |
| Linear Actuators | Actuators for linear motion, built on the stepper or BLDC motors in the range, used in single-axis positioning applications without the need for a separate transmission system. |

How do we supply Nanotec in Romania?
The data on Nanotec comes from the technical documentation of the German manufacturer, and parameters that are not stated explicitly there do not appear in our text. We bring in Nanotec motors on order, through supply channels in the EU, usually in 1–4 weeks from confirmation. For an accurate quotation we need the NEMA size, the torque required, the step angle wanted and whether you need an integrated controller or just the motor. We check the availability of each variant in the range on every request received.
Specific certifications (ISO, CE) for Nanotec motors are taken from the documentation of each model.
Frequently asked questions about Nanotec
How do I read the code of a Nanotec stepper motor, for example ST4118?
The ST prefix is used by Nanotec for stepper motors; for example, ST4118 is a NEMA 17 stepper motor. For exact parameters such as torque or rated current, the complete Nanotec data sheet has to be consulted.
What is the difference between an LA and an LGA linear actuator from Nanotec?
The LA series is a non-captive linear actuator, where the rod can rotate freely, while the LGA series has a captive rod, guided internally, suited where rotation is not allowed. The choice depends on the type of load and the mounting space available in the application.
What specifications help in preparing a quotation for Nanotec motors?
We need the type of motor wanted, stepper, BLDC or with integrated controller, the flange size, the torque required and the type of communication interface, for example CANopen or EtherCAT. With these details we can identify the right variant from the Nanotec portfolio and confirm availability based on the manufacturer's catalogues.
Do you supply Nanotec motors in Romania?
Nanotec motors and gearboxes arrive on order, usually within 1–4 weeks, because we do not keep this range on the shelf, each family having dozens of size and torque variants available.
What role does a controller such as the C5-E play in Nanotec systems?
The C5-E controller handles motor control directly from the same unit, through an EtherCAT interface, removing the need for a separate external driver in automation applications. It is used together with stepper or BLDC motors from the Nanotec portfolio, when a compact positioning solution is wanted.
How do I request a Nanotec quotation?
Send the Nanotec code from the nameplate and the quantity; we reply in English with availability and the lead time written in the quotation.
