A built-in stepper motor moves the load on these slides smoothly and precisely at high speeds, similar to an inkjet printer head. They’re often used in automated assemblies and other jobs requiring accurate, repeatable motion. The motor moves in small, equal steps and holds its position when stationary, so you don’t need encoders, sensors, or other position feedback devices. With a repeatability thinner than a single sheet of paper, the carriage hits the same spot every time. The slippery coating on the drive screw acts as a permanent dry lubricant, so you won’t need to add lubricant.

All slides require a controller and driver (not included).

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.
