NEMA17 and 23 stepper with ball screw piston captive rod actuator up to 2200N peak
PRESS release: April 2024
Birkerød, Denmark - Introducing the latest innovation from JVL A/S, a global leader in integrated servo and stepper motors – the ServoStep™ motors line welcomes a groundbreaking addition: the Piston Captive Style Actuator, also known as the Electric Linear Rod Actuator. Engineered with precision and durability in mind, this new actuator boasts a built-in high-quality ball screw and a non-rotating guide, ensuring extended operational lifespan. Unlike traditional setups, the ball screw is seamlessly integrated into the motor shaft, offering an exceptionally compact solution and a shorter actuator length.
Linear stepper motors can reduce cost and save space. There is no coupling, no additional bearing support and no assembly work required. It does not only reduce the cost and length but also reduces the failure rate due to fewer components and a simpler construction. In applications with small radial load ratings a linear guide is not required. The special design and use of ball screw and low friction guide enables long life operation, increased efficiency, or reduced maintenance requirements.
Features:
- Stroke from 12.7 to 127 mm. (custom lengths available)
- Rolled Ball screw lead 1, 2 or 4 mm/rev with C7 accuracy grade
- Linear speeds up to 200 mm/sec
- Precision accuracy 0.05 mm
- Non-rotating piston end
- Motor with double row ball bearing for high axial load and minimal axial play
- Optional epoxy paint coating for IP65/67 protection
- Option for a rear-end brake
- Option for ball linear bearing for high radial load
- Choice of precision ball screw accuracy grader including C0 to C5
- Flexibility to select customer specific ball screw brand

Superior Speed and position Control
The onboard stepper motor controller boasts a market-leading resolution of 409600 counts/revolution, ensuring smooth motor operation at any speed, in increments of 0.01 RPM. Furthermore, all ServoStep™ motors can operate at speeds of up to 3000 RPM with high efficiency due to optimized current regulation.
All-in-one unit
ServoStep™ motors come fully integrated with motor, encoder, drive electronics, control electronics featuring ePLC™, and optional Ethernet or CAN bus, all packed into one compact unit. They support all major industrial Ethernet protocols, including Profinet, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, SERCOS, ModbusTCP/UDP, and Powerlink. Options also include absolute multiturn encoders, rear end brakes and STO (safe torque off, SIL3). Additionally, the unit features 8 I/O points that can be individually configured as digital inputs or outputs, or as analogue inputs. These I/Os can be utilized as local/remote I/Os for the central PLC, or in conjunction with the ePLC™ in standalone applications.
