Linear Actuators - Stepper

Tin-Can or Permanent Magnet Linear Stepper Actuators

Tin-Can Linear Stepper Actuators are a type of linear actuator that provides precise and accurate linear motion using a sequence of alternating magnetic fields. McLennan Servo Supplies offers a range of Tin-Can Linear Stepper Actuators, including lead screw and captive options, suitable for various industrial and automation applications.

Technical Description:

Tin-Can Linear Stepper Actuators consist of a series of permanent magnets arranged in a cylindrical shape, surrounded by a set of electromagnetic coils. The magnetic fields are sequentially energized to create a force on the actuator, causing it to move linearly. Lead screw Tin-Can Linear Stepper Actuators have a threaded shaft that rotates to provide linear motion, while captive Tin-Can Linear Stepper Actuators have a non-rotating shaft that moves axially.

Applications:

Tin-Can Linear Stepper Actuators are used in a variety of industrial and automation applications. Some common applications include:

  • Robotics
  • Medical equipment
  • Packaging and labeling equipment
  • Aerospace and defense
  • Material handling systems
  • Factory automation
  • Automotive systems
  • Textile machinery

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What are the advantages of using Tin-Can Linear Stepper Actuators? A: Tin-Can Linear Stepper Actuators offer high precision and repeatability, low maintenance, and are ideal for applications that require precise linear motion control.

Q: What load capacities do Tin-Can Linear Stepper Actuators offer? A: McLennan Servo Supplies offers Tin-Can Linear Stepper Actuators with load capacities ranging from a few grams to several kilograms.

Q: Can Tin-Can Linear Stepper Actuators be used in harsh environments? A: Yes, McLennan Servo Supplies offers Tin-Can Linear Stepper Actuators with IP65 and IP67 ratings, making them suitable for use in harsh environments.

Q: How are Tin-Can Linear Stepper Actuators controlled? A: Tin-Can Linear Stepper Actuators are typically controlled using a motion controller or a programmable logic controller (PLC) that sends commands to an amplifier that drives the electromagnetic coils. McLennan Servo Supplies offers a range of motion controllers and amplifiers suitable for use with Tin-Can Linear Stepper Actuators.
