Linear Stepper Motors

Overview

Linear stepper actuators couple directly to a load, producing incremental linear displacement without position feedback, while delivering high linear force in a small size. Portescap's linear stepper motor solutions integrate the motion inside the motor itself, eliminating the need for external transmission hardware and reducing mechanical wear points to improve overall system efficiency.

Key Features

• Uses the detent torque of a can stack motor to hold position without power → reduces standby power consumption
• Incremental linear displacement without a position feedback sensor
• Compact design with high linear force output
• Captive design reduces size and produces pure linear motion
• Non-captive design enables longer stroke
• Ball bearing construction for long life and high load capacity
• Can be controlled digitally by a microprocessor without position feedback (with proper sizing)
• Standard winding voltages of 5V/12V; higher max speed with a chopper driver
• Current supply can be adjusted to match load requirements
