Nippon Pulse Motor introduces the Captive LINEARSTEP Series: Linear-Type Stepper Motor, a RoHS compliant, linear-type stepper motor with a one-piece captive shaft. The guideless, linear shaft movement ...

This application note describes how to implement an exact linear speed controller for stepper motors. The stepper motor is an electromagnetic device that converts digital pulses into mechanical shaft ...

Today, your average desktop 3D printer is a mess of belts, leadscrews, and pulleys. For his Hackaday Prize entry, [DeepSOIC] is eliminating them entirely. How’s he doing this? With a linear stepper ...

Rotary motor motion is usually converted to linear through rack and pinion sets, belts and pulleys, and other mechanical linkages. These are effective but limited systems. In contrast, integrated ...

The PFL20 Linearstep is an efficient, high thrust tin-can linear actuator with just a 20mm diameter and a bipolar winding. It is RoHS-compliant, has a 30/60-mm effective stroke, and can put out 6 N of ...

A series of linear stepper motors can provide constant positioning force to 400 N over full travel lengths of 300 mm. The Saia ULE Series is available in unipolar or bipolar configurations and can ...

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.

[Raul] built a cheap linear actuator out of a drawer slide and a surplus flatbed scanner. A few builds we’ve seen, like the PCB drill press or the horribly inefficient thermostat, used linear ...

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 ...
