The guideless, linear shaft movement gives designers a simple linear stepper system at a fraction of the price of a conventional rotary stepper system that must be adapted for linear motion. The ...

More specifically, some linear actuators use a stepping motor (as a rotary power source) designed with a threaded nut on a precision leadscrew instead of a rotor shaft.

Their innovative LE Series of linear stepper motors are characterised by their external drive, where the lead screw is integrated with the motor rotor as the motor output shaft. The nut, which is ...

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 ...

The captive configuration allows for a self-contained linear actuator unit with an anti-rotation device guiding a splined output shaft. The MotoDrive is ideal for applications requiring shorter stroke ...

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 linear stepper motor.

Torque figures across the family vary from 170mNm to 425mNm. “The large bore diameters of Moon’s hollow shaft stepper motors opens up many design possibilities, allowing for the integration of linear ...

The company has introduced new linear stepper motor stages that travel at speeds up to 80 inches/sec with stroke lengths to 144 inches, and acceleration to 1G. Four models offer 2, 6, 10, and 20 lbs ...

AutomationDirect has added stepper motor linear actuators to its SureStep line of stepper motion control products. These linear actuators are NEMA 17 or NEMA 23 frame stepper motors with a ...

Tailored for use with the company's tin-can rotary and linear stepper motors, the NP3775 debuts as a bipolar chopper driver and the NP7380 as a state logic (phase distribution) chip. The NP3775 ...
