Where to Use Stepper Motor Linear Actuators
These common applications show that stepper motor linear actuators reduce the total number of components in your design, while minimizing space requirements, and making assembly and maintenance quicker and easier. Examples are shown for all three configurations – rotating screw (MLS), rotating nut (MLN) and actuator (MLA).
Pipetting Click to Open
Pipetting - MLA + MLS
Tiny, precise, repeatable vertical motion is essential for accurate pipetting. Choose MLA to simplify your z-axis and MLS for precise, horizontal motion in pipetting applications.
Plate Vertical Positioning Click to Open
Plate Vertical Positioning - MLA
Actuator assemblies are self contained and ideal for simplified, leveling applications where small radial or moment loads may be present.
Fluid Pumps Click to Open
Fluid Pumps - MLS + MLN
Regardless of the mounting configuration, a stepper motor linear actuator can increase pump pressure, reduce equipment footprint and more accurately disperse fluid.
XY Stages Click to Open
XY Stages - MLS
Stepper motor linear actuators optimize XY stage designs with their compactness and power.
Horizontal Positioning Click to Open
Horizontal Positioning - MLN
Cameras and other measurement devices need to be in just the right place at just the right time. MLN delivers reliable horizontal positioning and length selections to get your horizontal positioning job done right.
3D Printing Click to Open
3D Printing - MLS
Utilizing a stepper motor linear actuator on a 3D printer can eliminate the need for couplings, bearings and supports while increasing stroke length and print volume.
Robotic Gripper Click to Open
Robotic Gripper - MLN
MLN configurations excel in gripping applications, rotating and positioning gripper heads and attachments with ease.
Monitor Tilting Click to Open
Monitor Tilting - MLA
Actuator assemblies are self contained and ideal for simplified, leveling applications where small radial or moment loads may be present.
