Nanotec linear actuator basics: types, sizes, lead screws, nuts, axial play, thread lead, self-locking and service life.

In the case of linear actuators without linear guide (non-captive), the plastic threaded nut is injection-molded into the hollow shaft rotor of the stepper motor and positively connected to…

In the case of linear actuators with linear guide (captive), the plastic threaded nut is injection-molded into the hollow shaft rotor of the stepper motor and positively connected to…

In the case of external linear actuators, the lead screw is permanently attached to the motor shaft and turns with the shaft when the motor is energized.
