Linear Motion Applications

Linear motion applications convert a motor’s rotary motion into controlled straight-line movement using mechanisms such as ball/lead screw actuators, belt and pulley systems, chain and sprocket systems, or rack and pinion systems. Oriental Motor offers linear actuators with both open-loop and closed-loop stepper motors, providing precise, reliable motion and flexibility to meet a wide range of application requirements. Common applications include indexing conveyors, rack and pinion lifts, and repetitive test fixtures.
