Captive Stepper Motor Actuators
Our captive stepper motor linear actuators combine motor and lead-screw mechanics into a single compact assembly, designed for extremely precise positioning and repeatable linear motion. Manufactured in Beachwood, Ohio, these actuators deliver the performance OEMs need for compact automation, medical devices, instrumentation, robotics, and other high-accuracy applications.
Integrated Motion. Precision Control. U.S. Engineered.
Engineered for Your Application
- Integrated precision guidance and lead-screw drive for minimal backlash and high resolution linear motion (for example: .125″ diameter / .048″ lead version).
- Built-in motor (Stepper) and screw assembly simplifies design, reduces footprint, and accelerates time to market.
- Customizable stroke lengths, leads, diameters, and end-machining (metric or imperial) to fit your specific design requirements.
- U.S.-based manufacturing and application engineering support from concept through production to ensure proper integration and performance.
