How’s he doing this? With a linear stepper motor. Search Google for ‘linear stepper motor’ and you’ll find a bunch of NEMA-bodied motors with leadscrews down the middle. This is not a ...

The [Denki Otaku] YouTube channel took a look recently at some stepper motors, or ‘stepping motors’ as they’re called in Japanese. Using a 2-phase stepper motor as an example, the stepper ...

The rotor turns (as in a conventional stepper motor) but produces linear motion through the nut and threaded screw. This tighter integration increases mechanical advantage as well as resolution.

The most effective way to accomplish rotary-to-linear motion, however, is within the motor itself. This paper discusses the technology behind stepper motor linear actuators, what makes them ...

Recently launched in the UK, Motors and Drives specialists MOONS' Industries are delighted to offer their extensive range of motion control products, which includes three types of linear motion ...

To run a stepper motor smoothly, it's necessary to apply linear acceleration. However, conventional algorithms to generate linear acceleration require complicated mathematics, which makes it difficult ...

How optical rotary encoders can provide real-time motion feedback on motion applications using stepper motor-driven linear actuators. Stepper motor linear actuators with added optical encoders (From ...

Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions, Inc., a premier manufacturer of engineered linear motion products, announces the addition of stepper motor drivers available for 24 hour shipment. A variety of stepper ...
