Linear stepping motors are stepping motors that convert rotational motion into linear motion, making them suitable for simple linear movements and operations in compact spaces. By eliminating the gears necessary for converting rotational motion to linear motion, the design can be significantly simplified, contributing to a reduction in the number of parts and saving space. Our linear stepping motors, while compact and lightweight, deliver "high thrust" and enable the "precise control" characteristic of stepping motors, making them useful in various fields. This booklet not only introduces the features but also explains the reasons behind achieving high thrust and lightweight design, along with usage examples, making it a handy reference. 【Contents】 ● Overview of linear drive motors ● Features ● Application examples ● Product lineup
