Nippon Pulse September 2011 Newsletter

Nippon Pulse’s linear stepper seriesprovides a simple motion system at a fraction of the cost of conventional rotary stepper motors and traditional linear motion systems. Our LINEARSTEP^®series are permanent magnet type stepper motors that enable linear motions without the need for external transformers. The LINEARSTEP^®series offers a wide range of customizable options, including various screw pitches, screw lengths, bipolar or unipolar windings, and several operating voltages.

Because of its ball bearing support and strong motor case, the LINEARSTEP^®series provides you with durability and a long operating life. With an enhanced Neodymium rotor magnet, the LINEARSTEP series also offers a large driving force, up to 39.5N at 200pps. These linear motors can be controlled and driven by the same electronics used for rotary stepper motors.

 

 

Features of Nippon Pulse’s linear stepper motors include:

Two motor sizes, 25mm and 35mm

Bipolar and Unipolar windings

Three thread pitches (0.48mm, 0.96mm, 1.20mm)

30mm and 60mm effective stroke lengths

12V and 5V coil ratings

24 or 48 steps per revolution

Forces between 8N and 39.5N (at 200pps)

Travel per step between 0.01mm and 0.05mm

Step angles of 7.5° and 15°

Rated current between 0.10A/Φ and 0.42A/Φ

The Nippon Pulse LINEARSTEP^® series can be used in a wide range of applications, including biomedical handling and liquid dispensing. In this video, you can see two Nippon Pulse linear stepper motors, on one long shaft, being used as a test tube handler. Also included on this demo unit is a Nippon Pulse geared stepper motor.
