A Basic Guide to Applying Hybrid Stepper Actuators to Any Design

January 8, 2020 By

Hybrid Stepper Actuators are electromechanical devices that incorporate a rotary hybrid stepper motor with a rotary-to-linear device (typically a Lead Screw) to impart motion to linear axes. Adopted in the 1980’s, hybrid stepper motors excel in compact machines requiring simplicity. Pre-integrated … [Read more...]

What are dual-motion hybrid actuators and where do they excel?

May 1, 2018 By

Some motion applications need axes to deliver both linear and rotary motion. Conventional designs for such functionality are often complicated and bulky. What’s more, rotary motors put to linear motion often have output shafts that are inadequate for supporting heavy side loads. Download the … [Read more...]

Noise and vibration in leadscrew-driven motion designs and how to avoid them

April 30, 2018 By

Leadscrews — especially those with high-accuracy threads — can be a low-vibration alternative to other linear-motion options. That’s in part because of the consistent contact between their load-bearing mating subcomponents. Download the white paper from Ametek … [Read more...]

Lead Screws 101 – A Basic Guide to Implementing a Lead Screw Assembly for Any Design

June 15, 2016 By

Haydon-Kerk-Leadscrews

In many devices lead screw assemblies are used to convert motion from rotary to linear and vice versa. Historically these assemblies have had poor efficiencies and relied on grease for improved performance. Over the past few decades the advent of engineered polymers and new manufacturing … [Read more...]

Pressure Velocity and Leadscrew Assemblies

June 15, 2016 By

Haydon-Kerk-Leadscrew-Assemblies

Pressure velocity (PV) is a fundamental property of all plastics, and is specific to the composition of the plastic. PV for a lead screw application is a calculated value based on load and surface speed of the interface between the leadscrew and nut. Manufacturers now have the ability to mold in … [Read more...]
