The 23A Series stepper motors offers many advantages to users over previous design choices. All of the lower cost digital attributes of a hybrid step motor are retained while the internal conversion to linear motion eliminates the need for other rotary-to-linear conversions such as belt and pulleys, racks and pinions, or external ball screws. Motion designs can be simplified, production costs lowered and product life enhanced. The 23A design captures a bronze acme nut internally such that each normal electrical step sequence results in the linear travel of a mating screw axially. Since the ends of the screw are free-floating, any length can be used; if the motor is fixed, the motor will travel. Normal open loop drivers can be used. Typical applications for the linear step motor actuator include X-Y tables, pick and place, medical instrumentation, valve adjustment, and test equipment. We can bring together many of the components required to make your application work the best.
