Adapter

Motor adaptors allow direct coupling of the motor shaft with either the left or right side actuator input shaft. Converting the motor's rotational motion into the linear movement needed for lifting, lowering, pushing, or pulling loads.

Features and Benefits

  • Connects the Motor to the Actuator's Drive Mechanism 
    The adapter allows you to attach a standard motor (like a stepper or servo motor) to the linear actuator's internal drive mechanism.
  • Converting Rotary Motion to Linear Motion
    The motor adapter assembly typically includes a lead screw and a resin nut. When the motor's shaft rotates, the adapter facilitates the rotation of the lead screw, which in turn drives the nut linearly, causing the actuator to extend or retract.
  • Space and Time Savings
    Using a prefabricated motor adapter can significantly reduce the complexity and time required for designing and building a custom linear motion system. This modular approach also allows for easier assembly and installation, requiring fewer individual parts and reducing the need for intricate coupling mechanisms.
  • Enhanced Performance
    Properly designed motor adapters can help ensure smooth and accurate linear motion by minimizing backlash and supporting axial loads directly. Some adapters feature self-locking mechanisms, which can hold the load in place even when the power is off, reducing heat generation and potentially eliminating the need for additional components like electromagnetic brakes.
