Hollow Shaft
- Hollow shaft stepper motor accommodates wires, shafts, or other mechanisms through its center, facilitating internal component integration and minimizing external clutter.
- Common in robotics and automation for space-saving and organized wiring applications.
Double Shaft
- Often used interchangeably with dual shaft or double shaft motors, these feature two shafts for versatile coupling of components or mechanisms.
- Ideal for synchronous movement or applications needing two outputs from one motor.
