Stepper Motor Linear Actuators
Thomson stepper motor linear actuators combine a hybrid stepper motor and a precision lead screw in one compact envelope. Our stepper motor linear actuators are now offered in three basic configurations – rotating screw (MLS), rotating nut (MLN) and actuator (MLA).
Rotating Screw Configuration (MLS)
The rotating screw design, which is ideal for rapid prototyping, features our patented Taper-Lock design to connect the lead screw to the motor shaft. It is best suited for applications where high levels of maintenance are anticipated, frequent disassembly/reassembly is required, or easy removal of the lead screw is necessary. Customers also can consider field
serviceability for this configuration.
