Lexium MDrive Linear Actuator

Robust Lexium MDrive linear products integrate a stepper motor external  linear actuator  with onboard drive electronics, a controller with up to 8 I/O, and 1000 line (4000 counts/rev) internal encoder with hMT closed loop performance. This high degree of integration can reduce machine complexity, size and cost in many stepper and servo motor applications. Lexium MDrive delivers exceptional performance and smoothness with advanced current control. Ideal for machine builders who want an optimized motor with onboard electronics, Lexium MDrive products are well suited for industrial applications.
