June 3, 2019 – Nippon Pulse introduced the PFL20 Linearstep. The PFL20 is a tin-can linear actuator with a 20mm diameter and a bipolar winding.
PFL20 is RoHS-compliant, has a 30/60mm effective stroke, and can reach 6 N of force at 200 pps. With 24 steps per revolution, the lead screw has a 1.2mm thread pitch; the PFL20 also reaches 5V rated voltage, resistance of 33 Ohms/phase and inductance of 12mH/phase.
The structure of Linearstep motors –a threaded rotor hub and lead screw –can be ordered with unipolar or bipolar windings and a variety of usable voltages. In addition to the 20mm motor size, this motor is also available in 25mm (captive or non-captive option) and 35mm diameter sizes.
Nippon Pulse’s tin-can linear actuators, including the Linearstep, are also available for customization.
