Stepper Motor Linear Actuator Attachment

The popularity of micro linear actuators has been steadily increasing, driven by the need to increase productivity in confined spaces. To help meet the demand of the miniaturization trend, Oriental Motor has developed a compact linear actuator that can be attached to an off-the-shelf stepper motor. For point-to-point applications with limited space, such as syringe pumps and test tube transfer, the Stepper Motor Linear Actuator Attachment can get the job done for less.

The Mounting Adapter for Linear Actuators is a linear motion mechanism with a lead screw and resin nut. It saves space and reduces design time compared to a custom-built mechanism. To use with 2-Phase and 5-Phase stepper motors PKP Series frame size 42mm.

This product offers a range of beneficial features, including:

• Linear motion mechanism with a leadscrew and a resin nut
• Easy installation without the need of coupling to an Oriental Motor stepper motor
• For the 42 mm frame size, thrust and self locking force are both a max. 100 N

Product Features

Thrust Force of 100 N for 42 mm

Self-Locking Force 100 N (Lead 2 mm) Capable of Load Holding

It can be used for load holding applications that require the prevention of movement caused by the load's own weight.

The phenomenon in which a screw shaft becomes immobile due to friction caused by moving the nut externally is called self-locking.

Compact Design Allows for Quicker Equipment Development

By using a mounting adapter for linear actuators, space is saved due to the reduced number of parts. The amount of time required for installation and accuracy adjustment can also be reduced. This allows for equipment startup in a shorter time

 

Axial Load Can Be Applied Directly

Product Versatility

Wide Variety of Motors and Drivers to Provide More Reliable Motion

Motors with additional functions, such as with encoders and electromagnetic brakes, can be used in combination with drivers that have low vibration and noise.
The low-vibration drive contributes to a reduction in wear of the nuts on the mounting adapter for linear actuators and extends the period of full lubrication.

Application Examples

For point-to-point applications where space is limited, such as syringe pumps and test tube transfer, the Stepper Motor Linear Actuator Attachment can get the job done for less.

Horizontal Transportation

This application shows how a stepper motor and linear actuator attachment transfers test tubes linearly from one location to another. An external guide is recommended.

Vertical Syringe

This application examples shows how 3 sets of stepper motors and linear actuator attachments provide precise linear motion for syringe pumps in a slim profile.
