H2W has always been an innovator and world leader in designing and manufacturing of both roller and air bearing single axis linear stepper motors.

A linear stepper motor is designed to move light loads very quickly or very slowly. They are supplied with integral air bearings that guide the forcer as it moves down the platen (track). The forcer assembly is normally the moving component.

There are mounting holes on the top of forcer to allow for payload mounting and there are threaded mounting holes on the bottom of the platen. Linear stepper motors can be driven with standard two or four phase micro-stepping drivers. Velocities in the range of 80 in/sec [2 m/sec] are achievable when coupled with the appropriate drive. Air bearing motors require 60 psi of compressed air to be supplied to the forcer.

We carry a wide range of linear stepper solution to meet your application needs. H2W linear stepper motors can be found today in many specific applications such as:

– Lead Frame Advanced Mechanism for Wire Bonders – Single Plane, Dual Axis XY Gantry for Photolithography Equipment – XY Gantry for Vision Inspection in Stencil Printing Equipment – XY Gantry for Laser Trimming of Resistors
Advantages: Low profile and small cross section, high speed, low cost positioning stage solution, no servo tuning required, multiple forcers on a single platen.
