Closing the Stepper Motor Linear Actuator Feedback Loop with Optical Rotary Encoders

Stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) combine a stepper motor, precision lead screw and nut in one compact envelope, providing a highly configurable, customizable and robust solution for linear motion. With the help of a motion controller and a stepper driver, all SMLAs can be programmed to position a load to a precise location. However, standard configurations do not provide a feedback mechanism that tells the operator whether the move is completed or not.
