Miniature linear servo motor

Moticont has added the SDLM-016-032-01-01-M (Metric) Direct Drive Linear Motor with an integrated encoder and temperature sensor to their SDLM Series of metric and imperial dimensioned high precision linear actuators.

This motor is the smallest of the series of linear motors featuring: zero backlash, zero cogging, high acceleration, high speed, high resolution, and long life. Also known as an electric cylinder, this compact direct drive linear motor is just 15.9 mm (0.625 in) in diameter and 31.8 mm (1.25 in) long. Protected inside the motor housing, a 1.25-micron resolution linear quadrature encoder directly connected to the shaft provides the greatest possible accuracy with zero backlash.

Additionally, monitoring the temperature from the internal temperature sensor optimizes highest possible throughput.
