maxon motor miniature DC linear actuator

Friday, 16 September, 2016 | Supplied by: maxon motor Australia Pty Ltd


A customised miniature electric linear actuator for positioning tasks has been built by maxon motor by combining a 16 mm, 60 W, 24 V brushless DC motor with an integrated radial and axial thrust block bearing system. The shaft is manufactured directly as a ball screw assembly.

Despite the tiny dimensions available, with motor diameters as low as 6 mm the units can deliver high linear forces. The 16 mm ball screw version has a force delivery capability of 403 N. With the brushless motor’s high speed capability, having the ability to accelerate to 12,000 rpm in under 2 ms, the actuator is also dynamic.

The motor is fitted with an integrated digital encoder for detent-free smooth positioning. The length of the ball screw and the nut details are all configurable to suit the machine design requirements.
