Selecting the Right Type of Stepper Linear Actuator
Tue, Mar 20, 2018
Generally speaking, one of the commonly used methods to achieve precise linear positioning is to make a set of linear positioning system by pairing the motor with the sliding bar. Here we will discuss several different ways to create a linear actuator by using the sliding bar and stepper motor. The stepper motor is the most commonly used selection in the application of motor control because if the operation is correct, it is an economic solution that can achieve accurate positioning without the need of position feedback.
Stepper linear actuator can be divided into three types, external shaft type, non-captive shaft type and captive type.
