Rotary motor motion is usually converted to linear through rack and pinion sets, belts and pulleys, and other mechanical linkages. These are effective ...

Stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) combine a stepper motor, precision lead screw and nut in one compact envelope, providing a highly configurable, customizable and robust system for linear motion.

The L2018 mini linear actuator from Nanotec Electronic is now available with linear slide.

This paper discusses the technology behind stepper motor linear actuators, what makes them different, and concludes with a detailed example illustrating how they should be sized to move a given load.

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 ...

Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions, Inc introduces the MotoDrive(tm) PDE Captive Linear Actuator, available in size 17 single or double stack.

Haydon KerkMotion Solutions' IDEA Drivetechnology is now available across the line of linear actuator productsincluding the Size 17 stepper motor linear actuators, LRS and RGS linear railsystems and ...

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 ...

A stepper motor is attached to one end of the actuator and a timing belt is strung along the length of the assemblage. After a bracket is connected the drawer slide and the belt, you’ve got a ...
