The linear stepping motor is a type of stepping motor that converts rotational motion into linear motion, making it suitable for simple linear movements and applications where space-saving operation is desired. By eliminating the need for gears during the conversion from rotational to linear motion, it significantly simplifies design and contributes to a reduction in the number of parts and space-saving. Our linear stepping motors are compact and lightweight while delivering "high thrust," and they enable the "precise control" characteristic of stepping motors, making them useful in various fields. This booklet not only introduces the features but also explains the reasons behind achieving high thrust and lightweight design, along with usage examples, making it a volume you would want to keep on hand.

The "Electric Gripper" is a product that achieves ultra-compactness, lightweight, and high reliability by adopting a simple spiral cam mechanism. By finely adjusting "speed, position, and gripping force," it can gently grasp objects without the need for options like rubber to mitigate shocks. It is also skilled at sorting, gently transporting, measuring, and aligning items. By using Minowa Mitsumi's ball bearings in the spiral cam mechanism, it achieves high speed and enables delicate pressing control and high precision gripping force accuracy. It can easily grip delicate and fragile products such as eggs, glass, springs, and semiconductors. 【Features】 ● 80% reduction in power consumption* ● Improved throughput of 500 cycles/h* ● Low gripping force pressing control ● Long stroke (maximum stroke: 13mm for type 25) - top class long stroke in the same size ● Lightweight (body weight: 100g for type 20) ● Compact and lightweight design due to the cam mechanism ● Multi-mounting capability for robotic arms and other applications *Compared to air-operated systems
