Linear step is a direct-drive type stepping motor that utilizes the structure of a conventional stepping motor.
Rotational motion is converted into linear motion by a shaft with male screw and a rotor with female screw integrated.
Features
- Easy control of stepping motor. The drive and control method are the same as those of stepping motors.
- Simple structure: A simple structure in which a female screw is installed in the rotor supported by ball bearings, and the male screw shaft goes back and forth. The number of peripheral parts can be reduced.
- High efficiency: The use of special sliding screws and rolled ball screws enables high screw efficiency and large thrust force.
- Abundant lineup: The product lineup includes various motor type/size, screw leads, strokes as well as captive/non-captive types as follows:
Lineup
- Motor size: 20 mm / 25 mm / 35 mm diameter
- Standard stroke: 30 mm / 60 mm (custom-made stroke is also available)
- Three types of screw leads: 0.48 mm / 0.96 mm / 1.2 mm
- Coil specifications: Unipolar / Bipolar (various coil resistance specifications are available)
- Captive type, which does not require anti-rotation mechanism, is available for 25 mm diameter size
