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 ...

We’ve all heard linear motors, like those propelling Maglev trains, described as “unrolled” versions of regular electric motors. The analogy is apt and helps to understand how a linear motor works, ...

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 ...

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

Tesseract Technologies, Formnext Awards finalist in the Rookie category, has developed affordable linear motors for ...

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 ...

Described as a low-cost, high-performance component, the company's two-phase, linear stepper motor specifies a 1-mm (0.00004") resolution and promises easy integration into unique and existing ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
