Stepper linear actuators, or digital linear actuators, are devices that directly convert rotary motion into linear motion by using nut and leadscrew mechanisms. Unlike typical miniature motor technologies, linear motion is achieved in the motor itself, which eliminates designing separate transmission mechanisms; this not only decreases the footprint of the motor, but als...
Birth of Itafran : In the 1970s, after 30 years of industrial reconstruction, the trend was towards deindustrialization and globalization. Production difficulties were shifted to countries with low-cost labor. ITAFRAN was created in 1976 to follow this vast movement of French deindustrialization. It was formed as a joint venture between an Italian and a French partner, ...

When someone says "motor," the image that comes to mind for most people is usually something that spins. However, motors can take different forms, such as linear motors. The linear motor was invented in the late 1940s by Dr. Eric Laithwaite of Manchester University. They started off as low acceleration devices, but in modern days, the technology has become capable of ex...
Recently, the integration of onboard intelligence into electric actuators has raised their ergonomic contribution to a new level. Smart features such as digital motor control, position feedback, synchronization, and real-time monitoring make it even easier to apply automation to improve workplace comfort, safety, and efficiency.

A stepper motor is a brushless DC electric motor that turns in steps, with input in the form of programmed energization of the stator windings and output in the form of discrete angular rotation. The defining characteristic of a stepper is its shaft, which rotates by performing steps; that is, by moving a fixed number of degrees. Stepper motors can also divide a full rot...
(1) Position control In position control mode, the control system achieves precise positioning by controlling the position of the servo motor. An encoder or other position sensor is usually used to feed back the actual position of the motor, compare it to the target position, and then adjust the output of the motor so that it reaches the target position. (2) Speed cont...
If companies work with flammable materials, safety plays a special role for them. Only suitable products and components can be used in potentially explosive systems.

The motion accuracy of stepping servo motors is related to the following factors: (1) Step angle: The step angle of the stepper motor determines the amount of rotation for each step. Usually, the step angle of a stepper motor is 1.8 degrees or 0.9 degrees. Smaller step angles provide higher resolution and more precise position control. (2) Drive mode: The stepper motor...
