Linear Stepper Motor
Linear stepper motors actuators are an excellent solution for converting rotary motion into linear, especially when the application doesn't require the precision of a closed-loop servo motor/encoder. It can usually be divided into three types according to their construction: external, non-captive and captive.
A linear actuator stepper motor is a mechanical device which produces force, as well as motion along a straight path. A linear stepper motor actuator uses the core principles of a stepper motor, with some slight modifications. With the stepper actuator, the shaft of a normal stepper motor is replaced with a precision lead screw, and the rotor is tapped to convert it to a precision nut that is adjusted to the lead screw.
Linear stepper motors can dramatically reduce cost and save space. There is no coupling, no additional bearing support and no assembly work required. This not only reduce cost but also reduce failure rate due to the less number of components and more simple construction. In applications with small load ratings a linear guide is also not required. The special design and material of the nut secure long life operations.
Our hybrid linear stepper motor actuators are ideal for applications requiring a combination of precise positioning, rapid motion and long life. Typical applications include medical equipment, Linear XY Tables, semiconductor handling, telecommunications equipment, control valves, and numerous other applications.

I got this one because of the advertised torque. with the original M2 brass nut although I did have to increase current in Marlin firmware. It's quieter and stronger. Overall extremely satisfied.

This thing is great. Worked perfectly in our parts positioning machine. The only complaint I have is that it doesn't (and should) come with a mechanical drawing. It seemed kind of ridiculous that my machinist had to make his own measurements and his own drawing. It wasn't really a problem, but just extra time that could have been saved with a xerox copy. Other than that, this is a great value, and it's likely that I'll buy more for the various projects er have going on.
