Drive low-speed, high-torque applications in small spaces. Gearmotors combine a motor and speed reducer to lower speed and increase torque. Wire for clockwise or counterclockwise rotation.

Use a motor speed control (not included) to adjust the motor speed. To convert AC power to DC power, see AC to DC transformers.

Use a torque-speed curve to confirm which motor will work for your application. Click on a part number and select “Product Detail” to view the curve for a motor.

Gearmotors with ball bearings withstand heavier loads than those with plain bearings for a longer life.

With an included controller and an integrated stepper motor, these slides are a complete precision motion control system. The stepper motor moves the low-friction ball screw and carriage smoothly at high speeds, similar to an inkjet printer head. To make sure the carriage is in the right place, the built-in encoder sends data to the controller. At ± 0.02 mm, these slides have a repeatability thinner than a single strand of hair, so the carriage hits the same spot every time. They work well in automated assemblies and other processes requiring accurate, repeatable motion.

For the initial setup, program the slides using the free, downloadable software, THK D-STEP. No coding necessary—simply enter the target position, speed, and acceleration for up to 16 different slides. This software also records position, speed, and motor current data, so you can monitor performance, optimize motion, and troubleshoot issues.

After the initial setup, the controller stores and runs sequences of up to 512 unique steps on its own. The controller also communicates with other devices such as PLCs, switches, and sensors. This means it can be integrated into a larger automated system to react to or trigger other processes as the carriage moves.

Travel distance per turn, also known as screw lead, is how far the carriage moves with one rotation of the ball screw.

Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load slides can move. If you increase the speed, the dynamic load capacity decreases. Use a load-speed chart to confirm which slides will work for your application. Click on a part number and select "Product Detail" to view the chart.

Automate precise push and pull movements in clamping, sorting, and ejecting tasks. These actuators come ready to use with a stepper motor and driver built in. At ±0.02 mm, their repeatability is thinner than a strand of hair, so the rod hits the same spot every time. Compared to air-powered systems, they have fewer parts to repair and replace.

These actuators have integrated controls for quick and easy setup, or you can program start and end positions remotely using digital IO or IO-Link. With IO-Link, you can move loads to a specific point along the stroke length, instead of just fully extending and retracting the rod. You can also back up your settings, configure parameters, and update firmware.

Power these actuators with a T-coded, 4-pole M12 connector. To send signals, use an A-coded, 8-pole M12 connector.

Use brackets to attach an actuator to your equipment. Support brackets have a groove for connecting to the side of the actuator body. Flange brackets connect to the bottom of the actuator and can be positioned anywhere along its length. Mounting, trunnion, and pivot brackets connect to the front of the actuator.

Prevent dust from circulating while precisely positioning parts for drilling, fastening, assembly, and measuring. These slides have a built-in vacuum port to remove fine particles that could damage electronics or contaminate batches in clean rooms. Because they have an integrated stepper motor with an included controller, you can adjust the speed, timing, and positioning with no extra software required. At ± 0.02 mm, these slides have a repeatability thinner than a single sheet of paper, so the carriage hits the same spot every time. Unlike air-powered actuators, they’ll hold their position even if power fails. They’re also more energy efficient.

Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load slides can move. If you increase the speed, the dynamic load capacity decreases. Use a load-speed chart to confirm which slides will work for your application. Click on a part number and select "Product Detail" to view the chart.

Maximum speed is how fast the slide will move under no-load conditions. If you increase the load, the slide speed will decrease.

Travel distance per full step determines the control you have over the slide’s positioning. The smaller the measurement, the finer positioning control you have.

Travel distance per turn, also known as screw lead, is how far the carriage moves with one rotation of the ball screw.

Precisely position parts in conditions as cold as -90° F. These slides contain a grease that lubricates even in low temperatures. With an integrated stepper motor, they’re a complete motion control system for automated assemblies. A controller is included, so you can adjust the speed, timing, and positioning with no extra software required. These slides are often used in actions that require fine, repeatable movement, such as drilling, fastening, assembly, and measuring. The carriage extends the same distance every time within ±0.02 mm, a margin thinner than a sheet of paper.
