Stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) combine a stepper motor, precision lead screw and nut in one compact envelope, providing a highly configurable, customizable and robust system for linear motion.

The combination of a high-torque step motor and precision spindle not only provides L2018 series linear actuators with a resolution of 5 µm, it also enables 40 N of thrust in compact form.

The rotor turns (as in a conventional stepper motor) but produces linear motion through the nut and threaded screw. This tighter integration increases mechanical advantage as well as resolution.
