Oriental Motor supplier in Romania
Stepper motors, servo motors and precision actuators
Who is Oriental Motor and what does it make?
Oriental Motor is a Japanese manufacturer of stepper motors, servo motors and precision actuators, with sales operations organised regionally, including through Oriental Motor U.S.A. Corp. for the American market. The stepper motor range includes the αSTEP series, with closed-loop step-servo control, and the PKP series of classic stepper motors, some with an integrated encoder for position feedback. For customers in Romania we can quote motors and actuators from this range, suited to positioning axes where holding torque at standstill matters more than with a classic servo motor.
The step-servo technology of the αSTEP series combines the control simplicity of a stepper motor with closed-loop position correction, which eliminates lost steps under variable loads. This is useful where you want positioning accuracy without the full tuning complexity of a servo system. The manufacturer's catalogue includes industrial robots (SCARA, articulated, Cartesian), linear and rotary actuators, brushless DC motors and AC motors.
For installations in Romania with simple or medium positioning axes (conveyors, rotary tables, dosing units), the Oriental Motor range is a fit as an alternative to a complete servo system, especially where budget or programming complexity must be kept under control.
What do we supply from the Oriental Motor range?
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| αSTEP series step-servo motor | A stepper motor with closed-loop control, combining the control simplicity of a classic stepper motor with automatic position correction through feedback, eliminating the risk of lost steps under load variations. Used on positioning axes in packaging, dosing and handling equipment where accuracy must be maintained without the complex tuning of a classic servo system. The customer needs to tell us the torque required, the working speed and the type of motion (point-to-point positioning or continuous profile). |
| PKP series stepper motor | A classic stepper motor, available in several frame sizes, with some variants having an integrated encoder for monitoring the actual position of the axis. Used on equipment where motion must be repeatable and controlled directly from the number of steps sent, without a complex control loop. The customer needs to indicate the frame size desired and whether position feedback through an encoder is required. |
| Linear and rotary actuators | Ready-assembled actuators that integrate the motor, the ball screw or drive belt and the linear guide in a single module, for linear positioning without additional mechanical design. Typical application: positioning axes for assembly or inspection equipment. The customer needs to specify the stroke required, the load carried and the travel speed desired. |
| SCARA, articulated and Cartesian industrial robots | Compact robots for handling, assembly or palletising operations, in three constructions: SCARA for fast horizontal-plane movements, articulated for orientation flexibility and Cartesian for accuracy on linear axes. The customer needs to describe the load to be handled, the reach required and the type of motion trajectory so that the right configuration can be chosen. |

How do we supply Oriental Motor in Romania?
We do not keep our own stock of Oriental Motor motors; we bring them in made to order through supply channels in the EU, usually within 1–4 weeks from confirmation. For a correct quotation we need the type of motion desired (positioning or continuous rotation), the torque required, the working speed and whether the application requires position feedback through an encoder. We check availability on each request before confirming a firm lead time. General technical information comes from the manufacturer's documentation, and for exact motor sizing we recommend a prior technical discussion.
We do not offer programming of the motor controllers as a service.
Frequently asked questions about Oriental Motor
What is the difference between the Oriental Motor αSTEP and PKP motors?
αSTEP is a closed-loop step-servo motor that automatically corrects position deviations and maintains torque even under variable loads. PKP is a classic open-loop stepper motor, suited to applications where positioning does not require continuous feedback. The choice depends on the accuracy the application requires and on the risk of lost steps under irregular loads or mechanical shocks.
Do you supply Oriental Motor motors in Romania to order?
Yes, we bring in to order motors and actuators from the αSTEP, PKP, BLV or EAS/AR ranges, depending on the full code requested by the customer. We do not have our own shelf stock for this range, and the lead time is usually 1–4 weeks from the order. We recommend sending the code from the motor label or from the documentation of the existing equipment.
What information do I send for a quotation for an Oriental Motor actuator?
We need the working stroke desired, the load carried and the travel speed the application requires, as well as the mounting type available on the equipment. If the actuator replaces an existing model, the full code or the mechanical interface dimensions help to identify the equivalent variant. Mentioning the working environment, with dust or humidity, influences the choice of the right protection rating.
What is the DGII series from Oriental Motor?
DGII is a hollow rotary table driven by a closed-loop stepper motor, used for positioning parts on a rotary axis in assembly or inspection cells. The central opening allows cables or other components to pass through the table. The reduction ratios and torques available vary with the size chosen from the manufacturer's catalogue.
How do I request a Oriental Motor quotation?
Send the Oriental Motor code from the nameplate and the quantity; we reply in English with availability and the lead time written in the quotation.
