We’ve seen plenty of motor projects, but [Jeremy]’s DIY Tubular Linear Motor is a really neat variety of stepper motor in a format we certainly don’t see every day. It started as a design ...

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 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 ...

Stepper motors are often used for positioning since they are cost-effective, easy to drive, and can be used in open-loop systems—meaning that they don’t require position feedback like servo motors.

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 ...
