Catalog and Design Guide
How to Use This Guide

Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions, Inc. specializes in customized designs to solve complex
engineering problems requiring precision linear motion.
Before using this guide, take a few minutes to review the table of contents and scan through the
entire catalog. Our catalog is divided into several families illustrating linear motion products that
can be used for different levels of assemblies depending on your unique application needs.
SECTION
1 LEAD-SCREW AND NUT ASSEMBLIES
The lead-screw product line offers an extensive array of non-ball lead-screws, anti-backlash nuts,
and free-wheeling nuts for use as components in a motion system. Haydon Kerk Motion
Solutions offers precision lead-screws and nuts that easily interface to many types of
rotary power sources including stepper motors, servos, brushless DC, brush-type DC,
and AC synchronous motors. Lead-screws and nuts are also versatile components in
systems requiring combination mechanics such as belt, pulley, lead-screw systems,
and folded-over linear actuator designs.
Lead-screws (charts on pages 19 to 23)

Nominal screw diameter: 2 mm to 24 mm (5/64-in to 15/16-in)

Leads (travel/revolution): 0.3 mm to 76 mm (0.012-in to 3-in)/revolution
Nut Styles (product summary and charts on pages 24 to 26)

8 designs of anti-backlash and freewheeling nuts as a function of load and maximum allowable drag torque.
ScrewRails & Spline Shafts (product summary and charts on pages 45 to 54)
Kerk ScrewRail combines both functions in a single, coaxial component. The design saves as much as 80% of
the space used by a two-rail system. Kerk Spline Shafts provide anti-rotation for one axis motion or a drive mechanism with
rotation for two axes of motion.
SECTION
2 STEPPER MOTOR LINEAR ACTUATORS
The stepper linear actuator product line offers an effective solution that simplifies the conventional way of translating rotary
into linear motion. The rotary-to-linear conversion is unique; it takes place within the motor itself therefore eliminating the
use of belts and pulleys, rack and pinion and other mechanical components. Theres a detailed tutorial at the beginning of
Section 2 that explains the technology.
There are 2 sub-families of stepper motor actuators (Product Summary on page 56)
Hybrid Linear Actuators (Overview on page 75)

SECTION
3 MOTORIZED & NON-MOTORIZED LINEAR RAILS AND SLIDES
The linear rails and slides product line should be considered when a more extensive linear motion solution is
desired to minimize overall system material cost, engineering time, and assembly cost. The linear
rails and slides are complete mechanical systems that can be powered and motorized to
include a linear bearing, rotary bearings, mechanical frame, precision screw and nut,
and an electronic drive unit. We can also design, engineer and manufacture a
multiple-axis configuration specific to your application requirements.

Lead-screw
Assemblies
Overview of Lead-screw Assemblies

LEAD-SCREW
TECHNOLOGIES
Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions products have been

designed specifically for motion control
applications. They are not compromised
adaptations of general purpose screws or nuts.
The screw thread form is designed for maximum
life, quiet operation, and compatibility with
Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions anti-backlash
nut designs.
KERK LEAD-SCREWS are

available in standard diameters from
5/64-in (2 mm) to 15/16-in (23 mm),
with standard leads from .012-in to
almost 4-in (0.30 mm to 92 mm)
including hard metric and left hand
threads. Custom sizes and leads can
be special ordered. Most stock screws
are manufactured from 303 stainless
steel and are produced with Haydon
Kerk Motion Solutions exclusive
precision rolling process. Other
materials are available on special
order. Positional bi-directional
repeatability (with Kerk anti-backlash
nut) is within 50 micro-inches (1.25
micron) and standard lead accuracy
is better than 0.0006-in./in. (mm/
mm). Lead accuracies are available
to .0001-in./in. (mm/mm). Haydon
Kerk Motion Solutions total in-house
manufacturing and quality control
assure uniform and consistent
products.
KERK NUTS are available in 8 standard

anti-backlash designs (CMP, ZBX, WDG, NTB,
KHD, VHD, NTG, ZBA); general purpose BFW
Series plus the Mini Series. (See Product
Comparison Chart for size availability). Custom nut configurations and mountings are also
readily available. The Kerk brand anti-backlash
designs provide assemblies which are wear
compensating with low frictional drag and
exceptional positional repeatability. Operation
to more than 300 million inches of travel can
be achieved. Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions
provides nuts in a wide range of wear resistant,
self-lubricating thermoplastic materials.

Axial Take-up Mechanism

The standard method for taking up backlash is to bias two
nut halves axially using some type of compliant spring. (Wavy
washer, compression spring, rubber washer, etc.)
SPRING PRELOAD
NUT HALF
NUT HALF
The unit is very stiff in the direction in which the nut half is
loaded against the flank of the screw thread. However, in the
direction away from the screw thread, the nut is only as axially
stiff as the amount of preload which the spring exerts.
SPRING FORCE
NUT HALF
LOAD AGAINST
SCREW FLANK
For example, if the maximum axial load to which the system is subjected is 50 lbs., the amount of spring preload must be equal to, or
greater than, 50 lbs. in order to maintain intimate screw/nut contact.
The problems arising from preloading in this manner are increased
drag torque and nut wear.
Obviously, the higher the load at the screw/nut interface, the higher
the required torque to drive the nut on the screw and the more susceptible the unit is to nut wear.
An alternate method replaces the spring with a

stiff spacer sized to fit exactly between the two
nut halves.
STIFF SPACER
(L)
NUT HALF
NUT HALF
There is no excessive preload force at the interface and the unit is capable of carrying high
axial loads in either direction with no backlash.
This is fine initially. However, as use time increases, wear begins on the nut threads causing a gap to develop between
the spacer (L) and the nut halves.
2
NUT HALF
(L)
NUT HALF
This gap (1 + 2) is now the amount of backlash

which has developed in the unit. This backlash
can be removed by replacing the stiff spacer with
a new spacer equal to (L + 1 +2). This process,
although effective, would be extremely costly and
difficult to implement on a continuous basis.
The Solution
What is needed, then, is a stiff spacer which will continually expand to accommodate the wear which occurs during use.
This is done by creating a spacer threaded at one end
with a complimentary nut torsionally biased to advance
when a gap develops.
The thread at the end of the spacer is a fine helix such

that an axial load will not backdrive the nut once spacer
growth has occurred.
The preload on the unit is only the amount necessary to

turn the spacer nut on the spacer rod and is independent
of the external system loadings. We thus have a self-wear
compensating unit which has extremely low frictional
drag torque yet high axial stiffness.

LEAD-SCREW
TECHNOLOGIES
Lead-screw Assemblies: Anti-Backlash Technologies
Lead-screw Assemblies: Lubrication

LEAD-SCREW
TECHNOLOGIES
Kerkote and Black Ice TFE Coatings

Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions, Inc. offers multiple options for lubrication. All Kerk leadscrew nuts feature self-lubricating polymers. When maximum performance is required,
Kerkote and Black Ice TFE coatings provide unmatched results in the most demanding applications.
The purpose of TFE coating is to supply a more even distribution of lubricant than is
normally found when using standard self-lubricating plastics on steel. The wear life,
coefficient of friction and resulting torque to drive a lead screw assembly are highly
governed by the ability of the engineered plastic to supply sufficient lubrication to the
nut/screw interface. The inability of the internal lubricating agents in some plastics to
consistently migrate to the surface may result in erratic drag torques and unpredictable
wear.
Kerkote TFE Coating
Kerkote TFE coating covering the entire screw surface results in an extremely even
lubrication distribution. Test results indicate system torque requirements are consistently
low with little or no change in required frictional driving torque, even with changes in motor R.P.M. Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions has developed a custom composition Kerkote
TFE specifically for our lead screw and nut materials. It is applied using an automated
process and provides extended nut life and smooth operation with little
additional cost.
Kerkote TFE is a soft coating, a long-term dry lubricant that is optimized for softer
plastics like acetals and nylons, with or without mechanical reinforcement. Lubrication to the nut/screw interface occurs by the nut picking up Kerkote TFE particles from
the coating as well as from the migration of the internal lubricant within the plastic nut.
Although care is taken to ensure that chips and voids do not occur in the coating, small
voids have been shown to have no effect on system performance. The transfer of TFE to
the nut continues throughout the operating life of the assembly as long as the nut
periodically travels over areas with Kerkote TFE coating. The lubricant, although solid,
also has some spreading ability as in fluid lubricants. Kerkote TFE coated screws
provide the maximum level of self-lubrication and should not be additionally lubricated
or used in environments where oils or other lubricant contamination is possible.
Black Ice TFE Coating
Black Ice TFE coating shares many of the benefits of Kerkote TFE but, in contrast, is a
hard coating that offers exceptional durability in all types of environments, with virtually
any type of polymer nut. Black Ice TFE coating remains on the screw, offering a low
friction surface upon which the nut travels. Rather than acting as a dry lubricant, Black
Ice TFE is an anti-friction coating whose surface properties displace the metal to which
it is applied. Though it is not intended for use with metal or glass fiber reinforced nuts,
Black Ice TFE is bonded securely to the screws surface and can withstand abrasion
from contamination, rigid polymer systems, fluid impingement and wash down applications. Black Ice TFE can be used in the presence of more aggressive environment
conditions, or anywhere reduced friction and a permanent coating is desired.
Both Kerkote and Black Ice TFE coatings offer the advantages of dry lubrication. These
are maintenance-free coatings that are designed to last the life of the product. They are
intended to be used without additional lubricants, thereby further increasing the value
of Kerk lead-screw assemblies through elimination of the most common failure of screw
driven drives, lubrication failure.
There are certain applications where external lubrication may be desired. These include the use of nut materials such as glass reinforced plastic or metal. Greases, when
used properly can provide unique capabilities and Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions does
offer a selection of greases developed specifically for these applications. Please contact a sales engineer for assistance selecting the best lubricant for your requirements.

303 Stainless Steel

Kerk brand lead-screws and linear rails start with premium grade 303 stainless steel.
Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions, Inc. has identified the material properties most critical for
producing the very high quality rolled steel screws in the world and controls these to levels unmatched in the industry. Because of our leadership position, we are able to utilize
this exceptional quality steel without having to charge premium prices.
Kerk stainless steel lead-screws and guide rails are corrosion resistant, non-magnetic,
and compatible with many demanding processes. The ideal starting point for a maintenance-free product, this premium quality stainless steel is being used in numerous
applications including medical applications, clean rooms, food and human contact, salt
spray, cryogenics and vacuum.
Kerkite Composite Polymers

In addition to the Kerk self-lubricating acetal nut material, Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions
offers a variety of custom compounded Kerkite composite polymers. Kerkite polymers are a
family of high performance materials that offer exceptional wear properties with the cost and
design advantages afforded through injection molding. Kerkite polymers offer a variety of
mechanical, thermal and electrical properties and are compatible with many chemicals and
environmental conditions.
Kerkite Composite Polymers are available options for most Kerk Lead-screw Nuts and are
standard materials for Linear Rail and Spline Shaft bushings, RGS Carriages and Screwrail
Bushings and End Supports. Each member of the Kerkite family is compounded with lubricants, reinforcements and thermoplastic polymers formulated to provide optimum performance
in its target conditions and applications, resulting in superior performance and extended life.
A cornerstone of the Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions advantage is design flexibility. Kerkite
Composite Polymers, along with our injection molding and mold making capabilities, offer
huge design advantages and cost savings compared with non-moldable materials. Kerkite
high performance polymers outperform other plastics and outlast metal bushings and bearings. When combined with Kerkote or Black Ice TFE coatings, Kerkite Composite Polymers
have been shown to provide hundreds of millions of inches of travel in customer applications
while continuing to maintain precise, accurate motion and positioning.
Special Materials
In addition to the Kerk standard material 303 stainless steel, self lubricating acetal and
Kerkite high performance composite polymers we also work with a vast array of custom
materials. Kerk has rolled screws in many other materials, including 316 stainless, 400
series stainless, precipitate hardening materials, carbon steel, aluminum, and titanium.
Kerk nuts had been produced in many alternative plastics including PEEK, polyester,
Torlon, Vespel, PVDF, UHMW, Ertalyte and customer-supplied specialty materials. We
have also provided metal nuts made from bronze, brass, and stainless steel.
With so much flexibility in our manufacturing process, if the material can be molded, machined, ground, or rolled, Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions can likely process it using state
of the art machine tools, injection molding and mold making, grinding and thread rolling
equipment. Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions excels at supplying the best overall solution
to meet our customers requirements. Contact Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions to find out
how you can benefit from these choices.

LEAD-SCREW
TECHNOLOGIES
Design and Engineering Data

Screw Accuracy
Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions, Inc uses a unique precision rolling process for screw manufacturing. Standard lead accuracy for Kerk screws is .0006 in./in. (mm/mm). Lead accuracies are
available up to .0001 in./in. (mm/mm). Please consult the factory for higher lead accuracies.
Assemblies have an extremely high bi-directional repeatability of 50 micro-inches (1.25 micron).
End Machining
Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions can custom machine screws to your specifications or provide
cut-to-length screws for your own machining.
Critical Speed
This is the rotational speed at which a screw may experience vibration or other dynamic problems. See CRITICAL SPEED CHART to determine if application parameters result in speed
approaching critical. To minimize critical speed problems: use a longer lead, choose a larger
diameter or increase bearing mount support.
Lengths
Lengths can be specified up to 12 ft. (4M) from stock, (depending on diameter and lead). Cut to
length screws are offered in 6-in increments (6-in, 12, 18,....) +1.0-in/-0-in.
Lead
Advancement per revolution. All screws are listed by lead, not pitch.
Lead = Pitch x Number of Starts
Pitch
Crest-to-crest distance or one divided by threads per inch. (On a multiple start thread,
the pitch equals the lead divided by the number of starts.)
14
Traverse Speed
The nut materials we use provide long wear-life over a wide variety of conditions. However, very
high loads and/or speeds will accelerate nut wear. Special materials may be required for these
situations. We offer the following guidelines for continuous duty linear traversing speeds
for optimum life:
Lead
Traverse Speed

100 mm/sec.
250 mm/sec.
760 mm/sec.
Maximum Load
Although the Kerk Anti-Backlash Assemblies are capable of withstanding relatively high loads
without catastrophic failure, these units have been designed to operate under the loading shown
in the size charts.
Efficiency
Efficiency is the relationship of work input to work output. It should not be confused with mechanical advantage. Listed efficiencies are theoretical values based on Kerkote TFE coated screws.
Torque
The required motor torque to drive a lead screw assembly is the sum of three components:
the inertial torque, drag torque, and torque-to-move load. It must be noted that
this is the torque necessary to drive the lead screw assembly alone. Additional torque
associated with driving frictional bearings and motor shafts, moving components, and
drag due to general assembly misalignment must also be considered.
Inertial Torque:
T = I Where I = screw inertia

j
= angular acceleration
Drag Torque:
The Kerk Anti-Backlash Assemblies are typically supplied with drag torque of 1 to 7 oz.-in.
The magnitude of the drag torque is dependent on the standard factory settings or settings
specified by the customer. Generally, the higher the preset force, the better the Anti-Backlash characteristics.
Torque-to-Move:
T = LOAD x LEAD
L 2p x EFFICIENCY
Back Driving
Sometimes referred to as reversibility, back driving is the ability of a screw to be turned
by a thrust load applied to the nut. Generally, back driving will not occur when the screw
lead is less than 1/3 the diameter for uncoated screws or 1/4 the diameter for Kerkote
TFE coated screws. For higher leads where back driving is likely, the torque required for
holding a load is:
T =
b
LOAD x LEAD x BACKDRIVE EFFICIENCY

2p
Screw Straightness
Screw straightness is measured as Total Indicator Runout(TIR). The standard straightness for
lead screws is .003-in/ft. Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions can provide tighter specifications on
customer request.
All screws are hand straightened before shipping.

Anti-backlash life is defined as the nuts ability to compensate for wear while
maintaining its zero backlash properties. Above life data is based on 25% of
the dynamic load rating. NTB style does not include mini series sizes. Life
will vary with loading, operating environment, and duty cycle. The longer
screw leads generally provide longer life.

Anti-Backlash Nuts: KHD Series

KHD Series for moderate loads, low drag torque

The Kerk KHD Series anti-backlash assembly makes use of the Kerk
patented AXIAL TAKE-UP MECHANISM (see Lead-screw Assemblies:
Anti-Backlash Technologies section) to provide backlash compensation.
The unique split nut with torsional take-up provides increased load capacity
and axial stiffness over comparably sized ZBX units.
Although the KHD offers high axial stiffness, frictional drag torque (1-3 oz.-in.)
is very low. The anti-backlash mechanism in the KHD unit eliminates the
need for load compensating preload forces.
The assembly consists of a 303 stainless steel screw mated with a selflubricating polyacetal nut. End machining to customer specifications and
Kerkote TFE screw coating are optional.

Anti-Backlash Nuts: WDG Series

WDG Series for moderate loads, compact designs

The Kerk WDG Series anti-backlash assembly utilizes an exceptionally compact design to
provide stiffness and balanced accuracy for precise positioning. The unique wedge design
locks the nut at the correct preload without excessive drag.
Shorter than other self-compensating nuts with similar performance, the W nut permits the
design of smaller assemblies without sacrificing stroke length. Nut wear or momentary
overload is accommodated through the WDG Series compensation mechanism, which
maintains positional accuracy in demanding applications.
The standard W Series assembly utilizes a self-lubricating acetal nut, axially preloaded,
on a 303 stainless steel screw. End machining to customer specifications and Kerkote or
Black Ice TFE screw coating are optional, as are designs for special operating configurations or environments.

Anti-Backlash Nuts: NTB Series

NTB Series full range, flexible designs

The Kerk NTB Series anti-backlash assembly is designed for higher
load applications than the ZBX or KHD series units. Using the specially
designed take up mechanism, it maintains axial stiffness throughout its
life while system torque is held to a minimum. The need to highly preload the nut to compensate for load has been eliminated with the Kerk
NTB Series assembly.
The nut is manufactured with a self-lubricating polyacetal designed to
run efficiently on the precision rolled shafting. Screws are 303 stainless
and are available with the proprietary long - life Kerkote TFE coating.
The NTBs simple, compact design can be easily modified for custom
applications.
The NTB assembly provides low drag torque, high system stiffness,
smooth operation, and long life throughout its load and speed range.

Anti-Backlash Nuts: ZBA Series

The patented Kerk ZBA Series offers a cost effective anti-backlash assembly for applications requiring precise positional accuracy and repeatability.
The ZBA has been developed specifically for those applications that require
very smooth and consistent motion such as printing, scanning, and coordinate measurement systems.
An added benefit of the ZBA design is the ability to manually adjust the drag
torque setting to match the specific requirements of the application.
This drag torque can also be set at the factory to meet individual customer
specifications. The inherent damping qualities of the ZBA design make it
ideally suited for applications requiring noise or vibration control.
The standard ZBA unit utilizes a self-lubricating polyacetal nut radially
preloaded on a 303 stainless steel screw. End machining to customer
specifications and Kerkote TFE screw coating are optional.

Anti-Backlash Nuts: NTG Series

NTG Series adjustable drag torque/compact size

The adjustable Kerk NTG Series offers a cost effective anti-backlash assembly for applications requiring precise positional accuracy, repeatability, and smoothness. The NTG has been developed specifically for demanding applications that require zero
backlash with minimal drag torque. With its compact size and no moving components, the NTG can also be easily incorporated
into customer specified, custom molded parts.
An integral part of the NTG design is the ability to manually adjust
the drag torque setting to match specific requirements of the application. This drag torque can also be set at the factory to meet
individual customer specifications. This is especially effective with
fine leads.
The standard NTG unit utilizes a self-lubricating polyacetal nut on
a precision rolled 303 stainless steel screw. End machining to customer specifications and Kerkote TFE screw coating are optional.

Lead-screw Assemblies: Custom Nuts

Custom Nut Configurations

Custom shapes machined and molded
In-house mold and toolmaking to help expedite
the design process
Custom materials such as PEEK, PPS and
carbon reinforced polymers
In addition to The Kerk standard nut types, modified and
complete custom configurations represent a large portion
of the companys production. Modifications may be simple
changes such as different mounting hole patterns or
mounting threads, small dimensional changes, or special
materials. Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions can provide
tremendous value by producing a multi-functional nut. Using custom molds and specialty machining, nuts can also
include guide bushings, carriages, timing pulleys, gears,
syringe components, sensor mounts and flags, encoder
features, clamps and many other complimentary elements.
In addition, custom designed nuts can offer quick release
mounts, partial thread engagement, half nut construction or special shapes and geometries. Special materials
are offered to extend the performance of our assemblies.
Materials can be chosen for extreme temperature, chemical compatibility, autoclaving, agency approvals, special
loadings and many other specific requirements.
FREE-WHEELING
and SPECIALTY NUTS
Custom nut designs can include

multi-functionality, eliminating
additional components to simplify
product manufacturing.
This can deliver both cost- and
space-saving benefits.
Custom geometries and custom

materials can be combined for a
wide variety of product application
requirements.

ScrewRails ,
Spline Shafts and
Linear Guide Rails
Guides: ScrewRail Linear Actuators

Kerk ScrewRail Linear Actuators

Linear motion has traditionally required separate components to handle both drive and support/
guidance. The compact Kerk ScrewRail combines both functions in a single, coaxial component.
By eliminating the need for external rail-to-screw alignment, the ScrewRail simplifies the design,
manufacture and assembly of motion systems. The ScrewRails coaxial design saves as much as
80% of the space used by a two-rail system and is generally less expensive than the equivalent
components purchased separately. The savings can be substantial due to lower component costs
and reduced labor. An added benefit is the ability to get three-dimensional motion from a single
ScrewRail.
When mounted vertically, the ScrewRail can be used to

simultaneously lift and rotate (Z-theta motion). With one
motor driving the screw and a second rotating the rail,
a compact, self-supporting pick and place mechanism
can be created.
Z-Theta

SCREWRAIL GUIDE SCREW

LINEAR ACTUATORS
The ScrewRail consists of a precision rolled lead screw, supported by sealed bearings and contained within a concentric steel guide rail, driving an integrated nut/bushing. Because all the alignment requirements are achieved within the ScrewRail, support and positioning of the ScrewRail is
much less critical than with traditional slide assemblies. Kerkote TFE coating and self-lubricating
nut/bushing materials ensure long life without maintenance.

ScrewRail
Linear Actuators:
End Supports
As an additional option for all Kerk ScrewRails,
standard End Supports offer the convenience of
simple and compact mounting for the ScrewRail.
The End Supports are designed to slide over
the outside diameter of each end of the rail and
key off the slot in the ScrewRail. The Kerkite
composite polymer End Supports come
standard with three hex nuts that are captured in
the flange for easy assembly. The End Supports
are also supplied with a brass threaded insert
and a set screw to fasten to the outside diameter
of the rail.
With the End Supports, the Kerk ScrewRail can
be easily mounted to your assembly. However, if
the End Supports are not utilized it is
recommended to center the clamping force on
each end at the L3 dimension as shown in the
drawing below.

Spline Shafts and Guide Rails

SS / SZ Series:
Spline Shafts
GR Series: Linear Guide Rails
and Bushings
Kerk SS / SZ Series Spline Shafts

The Kerk Spline Shaft (SS/SZ) series spline shaft system has been designed for light to moderate load applications, where low
cost, low friction, and long life are primary design considerations.
Kerk Spline Shafts provide anti-rotation for one axis motion or a drive mechanism with rotation for two axes of motion. They are
excellent alternatives for applications where hex shafts, square shafts and high-cost ball splines are typically used.
The assembly consists of a stainless steel spline shaft treated with Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions, Inc. proprietary low friction
Kerkote TFE coating, mated with a Kerkite composite polymer bushing. The bushing is supplied with an integral brass collar to
facilitate various mounting configurations without nut distortion.
Standard shaft straightness is .003-in (.08mm/30cm) per foot. Typical radial and torsional clearance between shaft and bushing for a basic assembly (SSA) is .002-in to .003-in (.05-.08mm). An anti-backlash assembly (SZA) is available for applications
requiring minimum torsional play.
As with other Kerk assemblies, special bushing configurations and end machining configurations are available upon request.
Aluminum or carbon steel spline shafts are also available upon request.

Spline Shafts and Guide Rails: Linear Rails

Kerk GR Series Linear Rails and Bushings

The GR Series linear rail system has been designed for light load applications where low cost, minimum frictional drag and long
wear life are primary design considerations.
The assembly consists of a centerless ground and burnished stainless steel shaft mated with a Kerkite composite polymer
bushing. The material combinations have been selected so that thermal fluctuations have minimal effect on system performance.
Additional lubricity and extended life can be obtained by using a low friction Kerkote TFE coating on support shafts available in
both stainless and alloy steel.
Standard shaft straightness is .002-in (0.05mm) per foot and typical radial clearance between shaft and bushing is .0005-in
(.013mm) on non-coated assemblies and .001-in (.025mm) on Kerkote TFE coated assemblies.
Bushings are manufactured with standard retaining ring grooves.

Black Ice Coating

Black Ice TFE coating is a hard coating that offers
exceptional durability in all types of environments,
with virtually any type of polymer lead-screw
nut. Rather than acting as a dry lubricant, Black
Ice TFE is an anti-friction coating whose surface
properties displace the metal to which its is applied.
Though it is not intended for use with metal or
glass fiber reinforced nuts, Black Ice TFE is bonded
securely to the surface of the lead-screw and can
withstand abrasion from contamination, rigid polymer systems, fluid impingement and wash down
applications.

Suppose you, as an engineer, are tasked to design a machine or part of a machine that requires precise linear positioning. How would you go about accomplishing this? What is the most straightforward and effective method?
When students are trained in classic mechanical engineering, they are taught to construct a system using conventional
mechanical components to convert rotary into linear motion. Converting rotary to linear motion can be accomplished by several
mechanical means using a motor, rack and pinion, belt and pulley, and other mechanical linkages. The most effective way to
accomplish this rotary to linear motion, however, is within the motor itself.
First, What Exactly Is a Stepper Motor-Based Linear Actuator?
A linear actuator is a device that develops a force and a motion through a straight line. A stepper motor-based linear actuator
uses a stepping motor as the source of rotary power. Inside the rotor, theres a threaded precision nut instead of a shaft. The
shaft is replaced by a lead-screw. As the rotor turns (as in a conventional stepper motor), linear motion is achieved directly
through the nut and threaded screw. It makes sense to accomplish the rotary to linear conversion directly inside the motor, as
this approach greatly simplifies the design of rotary to linear applications. This allows high resolution and accuracy ideal for use in
applications where precision motion is required.
Basic Components
Stepper Motor
Why use a stepper motor instead of a conventional rotary motor? Unlike other rotary motors, steppers are unique in that they
move a given amount of rotary motion for every electrical input pulse. This makes steppers a perfect solution for use in positioning applications. Depending on the type of stepper motor, our motors can achieve resolutions from 18 rotational degrees per step
to 0.9 rotational degrees per step. This unique stepping feature coupled with the characteristics of the lead screw provides a
variety of very fine positioning resolutions
How Does the Stepper Motor Work?
Permanent magnet stepper motors incorporate a permanent magnet rotor, coil windings, and a steel stator capable of carrying
magnetic flux. Energizing a coil winding creates an electromagnetic field with a NORTH and SOUTH pole as shown in figure 1.
Figure 1. Magnetic field created

by energizing a coil winding
The stator conducts the magnetic field and causes the permanent magnet rotor to align itself to the field. The stator magnetic
field can be altered by sequentially energizing and de-energizing the stator coils. This causes a stepping action and incrementally moves the rotor resulting in angular motion.

One-Phase On Stepping Sequence

Figure 2 illustrates a typical step sequence for a simplified 2 phase motor. In step 1, phase A of the 2 phase stator is energized.
This magnetically locks the rotor in the position shown, since unlike poles attract. When phase A is turned off and phase B is
turned on, the rotor moves 90 clockwise. In step 3, phase B is turned off and phase A is turned on but with the polarity reversed
from step 1. This causes another 90 rotation. In step 4, phase A is turned off and phase B is turned on, with polarity reversed
from step 2. Repeating this sequence causes the rotor to move clockwise in 90 steps.

Two-Phase On Stepping Sequence

A more common method of stepping is two phase on where both phases of the motor are always energized. However, only the
polarity of one phase is switched at a time, as shown in Figure 3. With two phase on stepping, the rotor aligns itself between the
average north and average south magnetic poles. Since both phases are always on, this method provides 41.4% more torque
than one phase on stepping.

Lead-screw
The acme lead-screw is a special type of screw that provides a linear force using the simple mechanical principle of the inclined
plane. Imagine a steel shaft with a ramp (inclined plane) wrapped around it. The mechanical advantage (force amplification) is
determined by the angle of the ramp which is a function of the lead, pitch, and diameter of the screw.
Lead The axial distance a screw thread advances in a single revolution
Pitch The axial distance measured between adjacent thread forms
The threads of the lead-screw allow a small rotational force to translate into a large load capability depending on the steepness
of the ramp (the thread lead). A small lead (more threads per inch) will provide a high force and resolution output. A large lead
(fewer threads) will provide a lower force, but a correspondingly higher linear speed from the same source of rotary power.
Examples of different
thread configurations:
Finer lead threads will
provide higher force but
lower speeds; Coarse lead
threads will provide higher
speeds but lower force.
Integrated Nut
Of equal, if not greater importance to the lead screw is the nut that drives the screw. This nut is often imbedded in the rotor of the
stepping motor, which makes this actuator configuration unique from other rotary to linear techniques. The traditional nut material
is a bearing grade bronze which lends itself to the required machining of the internal threads. Bronze is a traditional compromise
between physical stability and lubricity. Compromise, however, is the key word since it excels at neither.
Friction Considerations
A much better material for a power nut in the linear actuator is a lubricated thermoplastic material. With the evolution of new
engineered plastics, the screw threads may now travel with a lower overall coefficient of friction. This is illustrated below
in Figure 4.

Thermal Considerations
Given the data, it was clear that a plastic drive nut provides the lower coefficient of friction when compared with bronze. Unfortunately, as good as the plastic is for threads, it is not stable enough for the bearing journals of a hybrid motor, which are critical
in the hybrid motor design. Under a continuous full load condition, plastic bearing journals can expand as much as 0.004, where
brass will expand only 0.001. This is illustrated in Figure 5. In order to achieve the high performance characteristics of the stepper motor, the design must maintain a stator-to-rotor airgap of only a few thousandths of an inch. This tight design requirement
demands thermally stable bearing journals.

Effects on Actuator Life
The result is a product with quiet operation, higher efficiencies, and higher life expectancies. Motor life is improved by 10 to 100

Extending Actuator Life

With proper application consideration, Haydon linear actuators deliver up to 20 million cycles. Ultimately, motor fatigue and resultant life are determined by each customers unique application.

There are some general guidelines that should be understood in order to insure maximum life. Ultimately, to determine
an actuators performance in a given system its best to perform testing in the final assembly in field conditions or in a setting
that closely approximates those conditions.

Since a stepper has no brushes to wear out, its life usually far exceeds that of other mechanical components of the
system. If a stepper does fail there are certain components which are likely to be involved. Bearings and lead-screw/nut interface
(in linear actuators) are typically the first components to experience fatigue. Required torque or thrust and operating environment
are the factors which affect these motor components.

Extensive testing has shown that motor life increases exponentially with reduced operating loads. Environmental factors
such as high humidity, exposure to harsh chemicals or gases, excessive dirt/debris, and heat will affect motor life. Mechanical
factors in the assembly such as side loading of the shaft (linear actuators) or an unbalanced load (rotary motors) will also affect
life.

Properly designing a system which minimizes these factors and also insuring the motor is operating within its electrical specifications will ensure maximum motor life. The first step in maximizing life is choosing a motor which has a safety factor
of 2 or more. The second step is insuring the system is mechanically sound by minimizing side loading, unbalanced loads, and
impact loads. Also insure techniques to allow effective heat dissipation. Air flow around the motor or mounting which provides
some heat sinking are effective means to insure the motor operates at a safe temperature.

If these simple, yet effective guidelines are followed, the linear actuators will provide reliable operation over millions
of cycles.
Putting It All Together
Figure 8 below is a cross section drawing of a captive type linear actuator. Captive indicates that there is already an
anti-rotation mechanism built into the actuator through the use of a splined anti-rotation shaft and a captive sleeve.
The captive configuration is ideal for use in precision liquid drawing/dispensing and proportional valve control.
Other forms of linear actuators are non-captive and external linear as pictured in Figures 9 and 10.

All This Theory Is Good, But How Are They Sized?

Sizing a linear actuator is quite easy once you understand the basic needs of the application. The following is the minimum information needed to begin sizing the proper device.

1) Linear force needed to move the load, expressed in Newtons (N)

2) Linear distance the load needs to be moved, expressed in meters (M)
3) Time required to move the load, expressed in seconds (s)
4) Table 1 (next page)
5) Performance curves illustrated in Haydon linear actuator catalogs
Power Requirements
The power required to meet the application is now calculated using the parameters above. This will allow the user to easily
choose the correct motor framesize needed.
(distance traveled in Meters) (force in Newtons)

P linear =
= watts
(Time to travel the distance in Seconds)
Once the power is known in watts, choose the proper framesize of the actuator as listed in Table 1 (next page).
All stepper motor linear actuators require a drive to send the pulses to the motor. As seen in the table, the power for both an L/R
drive and a chopper drive is listed. Most applications today use an electronic chopper drive. Unless the application is battery
powered (as in a hand-held portable device), a chopper drive is highly recommended to get the maximum performance from the
linear actuator.

Actuator Life
There are many variables that ultimately determine life of the actuator. The best way to predict life is through application testing,
which is highly recommended.

There is, however, a first approximation technique that can help estimate this value. The stepper motor prime mover
contains no brushes to wear out and also utilize precision long-life ball bearings. The main wear component is the power nut.
The number of cycles can be summarized as a function of load, as illustrated in Figure 12 below.
Figure 12.

CYCLES
Cycles on a standard
stroke actuator
With proper application, Haydon linear actuators deliver up to 20 million cycles and Haydon rotary motors provide up to 25,000
hours of service. Ultimately motor fatigue and resultant life are determined by each customers unique application. The following
definitions are important for understanding motor life and fatigue.
Continuous Duty: Running a motor at its rated voltage.
25% Duty Cycle: Running a motor at double its rated power. The motor is on approximately 25% of the time. The
motor generates about 60% more output than at rated voltage. Note, duty cycle is not related to the load placed
on the motor.
Life: A linear actuators life is the number of cycles that the motor is able to move at a prescribed load and maintain
step accuracy. Rotary motor life is the number of hours of operation.
One Cycle: A linear actuators cycle consists of extending and retracting back to the original position.

Desired Cycles = 1,000,000

Linear Velocity (in / sec) =

Calculate the initial rated force based on required # of cycles:

Step 1:

Refer to Figure 12 and determine the % wear after 1,000,000 cycles.

This is indicated with the blue line in Figure 13 below.
Figure 13.
LIFE EXPECTANCY
Cycles on a standard

Step 2:

As indicated in the chart, in order to get 1,000,000 cycles, a factor of 0.5 must be used when sizing the actuator.

The initial rated force required in order to meet the load after 1,000,000 cycles is therefore

15 lbs / 0.5 = 30 lbs

Step 3:

Convert lbs to Newtons (N)

30 lbs / (0.225 lbs / N) = 133 N
Determine required travel in meters

3 in x (0.0254 M / in) = 0.0762 M
Choose the proper framesize actuator using the selector chart

Step 1:

Determine the required linear mechanical power in watts
P linear = (133 N x 0.0762 M) / 6 sec = 1.7 N-M / sec = 1.7 watts
Step 2:
Use Table 1 to determine the correct
framesize actuator. As discussed
earlier in the paper, most applications
will use a chopper drive to supply the
required input pulses to the stepper
motor. The 43000 (Size 17 Hybrid)
was chosen for this application, as
highlighted in the Hybrid Single

EXAMPLE #2
Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions, Inc. offers a line of Double Stack Hybrid Actuators that are designed to meet the needs of higher
speed applications. This next example illustrates a typical situation where higher speed is required to perform the motion.
All other application requirements with the exception of the move velocity is unchanged from Example #1.
Application Requirements:

Required Force (lbs) =
15 lbs

Required Travel (inches) =
3 in

Time To Achieve Travel (sec) =
3 sec (modified application requirement)
Desired Cycles = 1,000,000

Linear Velocity (in / sec) =
3 in / 3 sec = 1.0 in / sec (modified linear velocity)
Calculate the initial rated force based on required # of cycles:

Step 1:

Refer to Figure 10 and determine the % wear after 1,000,000 cycles. This is indicated with the blue line in Figure 11.

This will be identical to that shown in Sizing Example #1 because the number of desired cycles didnt change.

Step 2:

As indicated in Figure 11, in order to get 1,000,000 cycles, a factor of 0.5 must be used when sizing the actuator.

The initial force required in order to meet the load after 1,000,000 cycles is therefore

15 lbs / 0.5 = 30 lbs (Unchanged from Example #1)

Step 3:

Convert lbs to Newtons (N)

30 lbs / (0.225 lbs / N) = 133 N (Unchanged from Example #1)
Determine required travel in meters

3 in x (0.0254 M / in) = 0.0762 M ((Unchanged from Example #1)
Choose the proper framesize actuator using the selector chart

Step 1:
Determine the required linear mechanical power in watts
P linear = (133N x 0.0762M) / 3s = 3.4 N-M / s = 3.4 watts (This changed from 1.7 watts needed in Example #1)

As shown from the result above, the required output power increased by 100% due to the application requirement
change from a 6s Time to Achieve Travel (Example #1) to a 3s Time to Achieve Travel.
Step 2:
Assuming the mounting footprint is to remain unchanged (in this case, the Size 17 motor frame), using the Double
Stack version of the actuator would easily meet the application requirements. This is highlighted in the Hybrid
Double Stack section of Table 1.

Resolution, Accuracy, and Repeatability Whats The Difference??

In any linear motion application, the subject of resolution, accuracy, and repeatability inevitability comes up. These terms have
very different meanings, but are in many cases, used interchangeably.
Resolution
This is defined as the incremental distance the actuators output shaft will extend per input pulse.

Resolution is expressed as inches/step. As seen in the curves above, resolutions are available in fractions or subfractions of an inch per step allowing very controlled linear motion.
Resolution = (screw lead) / (360 deg / step angle)
Example:

Screw lead = 0.096-in / rev (inch / revolution)

Step angle = 1.8 deg / step
Actuator Resolution = (0.096 in / rev) / (360 deg / (1.8 deg / step) = 0.00048 in / step (use J screw)
Accuracy
The difference between the theoretical distance and the actual distance traveled. Due to manufacturing tolerances in the individual components of the actuator, the actual travel will be slightly different. The tight design tolerances of the Haydon actuators
allow this error to be very small, but nevertheless, it exists. See Figure 18.

For a Haydon hybrid linear actuator utilizing a screw with a 1-in lead, 360 of rotary motion will result in a theoretical
1-in stoke. In general, the tolerance of a Haydon Hybrid linear actuator with a 1-in move will be +/ 0.0005-in.
Repeatability
The range of positions attained when the actuator is commanded to approach the same target multiple times under identical
conditions.
Example:

Allow the actuator to extend a commanded distance from its home position (starting point). Measure and record this

distance and call it x. Retract the actuator back to its home position. Command the actuator to repeatedly return to

the commanded distance x. The differences between the actual distances traveled and x is the repeatability.
Figure 18.
ACCURACY and
REPEATABILITY
Resonance

Stepper motors have a natural resonant frequency as a result of the motor being a spring-mass system. When the step
rate equals the motors natural frequency, there may be an audible change in noise made by the motor, as well as an increase in
vibration. The resonant point will vary with the application and load, but typically occurs somewhere between 100 and 250 steps
per second. In severe cases the motor may lose steps at the resonant frequency. Changing the step rate is the simplest means
of avoiding many problems related to resonance in a system. Also, half stepping or micro stepping usually reduces resonance
problems. When accelerating/decelerating to speed, the resonance zone should be passed through as quickly as possible.

Selecting The Proper Motor Checklist

In order to select the proper motor several factors must be considered. Is linear or rotary motion required? Following is

Drives

Stepper motors require some external electrical components in order to run. These components typically include a
power supply, logic sequencer, switching components and a clock pulse source to determine the step rate. Many commercially
available drives have integrated these components into a complete package. Some basic drive units have only the final power
stage without the controller electronics to generate the proper step sequencing.

Bipolar Drive

This is a very popular drive for a two phase bipolar motor having four leads. In a complete driver/controller the electronics alternately reverse the current in each phase. The stepping sequence is shown in figure 5.

Unipolar Drive

This drive requires a motor with a center-tap at each phase (6 leads). Instead of reversing the current in each phase,
the drive only has to switch current from one coil to the other in each phase (figure 6). The windings are such that this switching
reverses the magnetic fields within the motor. This option makes for a simpler drive but only half of the copper winding is used at
any one time. This results in approximately 30% less available torque in a rotary motor or force in a linear actuator as compared
to an equivalent bipolar motor.
L/R Drives

This type of drive is also referred to as a constant voltage drive. Many of these drives can be configured to run bipolar
or unipolar stepper motors. L/R stands for the electrical relationship of inductance (L) to resistance (R). Motor coil impedance vs.
step rate is determined by these parameters. The L/R drive should match the power supply output voltage to the motor coil voltage rating for continuous duty operation. Most published motor performance curves are based on full rated voltage applied at the
motor leads. Power supply output voltage level must be set high enough to account for electrical drops within the drive circuitry
for optimum continuous operation.

Performance levels of most steppers can be improved by increasing the applied voltage for shortened duty cycles. This
is typically referred to as over-driving the motor. When over-driving a motor, the operating cycle must have sufficient periodic off
time (no power applied) to prevent the motor temperature rise from exceeding the published specification.
Chopper Drives

A chopper drive allows a stepper motor to maintain greater torque or force at higher speeds than with an L/R drive. The
chopper drive is a constant current drive and is almost always the bipolar type. The chopper gets its name from the technique of
rapidly turning the output power on and off (chopping) to control motor current. For this setup, low impedance motor coils and the
maximum voltage power supply that can be used with the drive will deliver the best performance. As a general rule, to achieve
optimum performance, the recommended ratio between power supply and rated motor voltage is eight to one. An eight to one
ratio was used for the performance curves in this catalog.
Microstepping Drives

Many bipolar drives offer a feature called microstepping. Microstepping electronically divides a full step into smaller
steps. For instance, if one step of a linear actuator is 0.001 inch, this can be driven to have 10 microsteps per step. In this case,
one microstep would normally be 0.0001 inch. Microstepping effectively reduces the step increment of a motor. However, the
accuracy of each microstep has a larger percentage of error as compared to the accuracy of a full step. As with full steps, the
incremental errors of microsteps are non-cumulative.
72
Summary

Stepper motors have been used in a wide array of applications for many years. With trends towards miniaturization,
computer control and cost reduction, hybrid style stepper motor actuators are being used in an ever increasing range of applications. In particular the use of linear actuators has rapidly expanded in recent years. These precise, reliable motors can be found
in many applications including blood analyzers and other medical instrumentation, automated stage lighting, imaging equipment,
HVAC equipment, valve control, printing equipment, X-Y tables, integrated chip manufacturing, inspection and test equipment.
This attractive technical solution eliminates the use of numerous components and the associated costs related to assembly, purchasing, inventory, etc. The applications for these motors are only limited by the designers imagination.
Terminology
Detent or residual torque: The torque required to rotate the motors output shaft with no current applied to the windings.
Drives: A term depicting the external electrical components to run a Stepper Motor System. This will include power supplies,
logic sequencers, switching components and usually a variable frequency pulse source to determine the step rate.
Dynamic torque: The torque generated by the motor at a given step rate. Dynamic torque can be represented by PULL IN
torque or PULL OUT torque.
Holding torque: The torque required to rotate the motors output shaft while the windings are energized with a steady state
D.C. current.
Inertia: The measure of a bodys resistance to acceleration or deceleration. Typically used in reference to the inertia of the
load to be moved by a motor or the inertia of a motors rotor.
Linear step increment: The linear travel movement generated by the lead-screw with each single step of the rotor.
Maximum temperature rise: Allowable increase in motor temperature by design. Motor temperature rise is caused by the
internal power dissipation of the motor as a function of load. This power dissipation is the sum total from I2R (copper loss), iron
(core) loss, and friction. The final motor temperature is the sum of the temperature rise and ambient temperature.
Pulse rate: The number of pulses per second (pps) applied to the windings of the motor. The pulse rate is equivalent to the
motor step rate.
Pulses per second (PPS): The number of steps that the motor takes in one second (sometimes called steps per second).
This is determined by the frequency of pulses produced by the motor drive.
Ramping: A drive technique to accelerate a given load from a low step rate, to a given maximum step rate and then to decelerate to the initial step rate without the loss of steps.
Single step response: The time required for the motor to make one
complete step.
Step: The angular rotation produced by the rotor each time the motor receives
a pulse. For linear actuators a step translates to a specific linear distance.
Step angle: The rotation of the rotor caused by each step, measured in degrees.
Steps per revolution: The total number of steps required for the rotor to
rotate 360.
Torque: The sum of the frictional load torque and inertial torque.

Pull out torque: The maximum torque the motor can deliver once the motor is

running at constant speed. Since there is no change in speed there is no

inertial torque. Also, the kinetic energy stored in the rotor and load inertia help

to increase the pull out torque.

Pull in torque: The torque required to accelerate the rotor inertia and any rigidly

attached external load up to speed plus whatever friction torque must be

overcome. Pull in torque, therefore, is always less than pull out torque.
Torque to inertia ratio: Holding torque divided by rotor inertia.

Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions hybrid linear actuators open new avenues for equipment designers who
require high performance and exceptional endurance in a very small package. The various designs use a
proprietary manufacturing process, which incorporates engineering thermoplastics in the rotor drive nut and a
stainless steel lead-screw. This allows the motor to be much quieter, more efficient and more durable than the
v-thread and bronze nut configuration commonly used in other actuators. Motor life is improved more than 10 times
over the traditional bronze nut style and it requires no maintenance and does not affect the cost. An additional
feature is the bearing preload adjustment which, unlike other designs, does not protrude from the motor
configuration commonly used in other actuators.

The hybrid actuators come in six sizes, from 21 mm square to 87 mm square. Each size has three designs
available captive, non-captive and an external linear version. Haydon also offers a series of Double Stack
enhanced performance hybrid linear actuators available in sizes from 21 mm to 57 mm square. An integrated,
programmable IDEA Drive is available for the Size 17 (43 mm) hybrid and Double Stack hybrid motors.

There are 28 different travels per step available, from .00006 inch (.001524 mm) to .005 inch (.127 mm). Micro
stepping can be used for even finer resolution. Our 87 mm actuator delivers up to 500 pounds (2224 N) of force.

These linear actuators are ideal for applications requiring a combination of precise positioning, rapid motion and
long life.

Typical applications include X-Y tables, medical equipment, semiconductor handling, telecommunications
equipment, valve control, and numerous other uses. Sold at competitive prices, this product is an excellent value
for incorporation into your next project. In addition to standard configurations, Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions can
custom design these motors to meet your specific application needs. Lead time for standard prototype designs is
usually 2 to 3 days, and 4 to 6 weeks for production orders.

*Care should be taken when utilizing these screw pitches to ensure that the physical load limits of the motor are not exceeded.
Please consult the factory for advice in selecting the proper pitch for your application.
NOTE: All chopper drive curves were created with a 5 volt motor and a 40 volt power supply.
Ramping can increase the performance of a motor either by increasing the top speed or getting a heavier load accelerated up
to speed faster. Also, deceleration can be used to stop the motor without overshoot.
With L/R drives peak force and speeds are reduced, using a unipolar drive will yield a further 30% force reduction.

STEPPER MOTORS

All Haydon hybrid linear actuators are available with specifically designed
encoders for applications that require feedback. The compact optical incremental
encoder design is available with two channel quadrature TTL squarewave outputs.
An optional index is also available as a 3rd channel. The Size 8 encoder provides
resolutions for applications that require 250 and 300 counts per revolution. The Size
11, 14 and 17 encoder provides resolutions for applications that require 200, 400 and
1,000 counts per revolution. The Size 23 and 34 encoder is offered in resolutions of
200, 400, 1,000 and 2,000 counts per revolution. Encoders are available for all motor
configurations captive, non-captive and external linear.
Size 23 with encoder

Simplicity and low cost make the encoders ideal for both high and low volume
motion control applications. The internal monolithic electronic module converts the
real-time shaft angle, speed, and direction into TTL compatible outputs. The encoder
module incorporates a lensed LED light source and monolithic photodetector array with
signal shaping electronics to produce the two channel bounceless TTL outputs.

Optional Assemblies for Hybrids

Haydon Hybrid Linear Actuators can now be manufactured as an encoder ready actuator. These
encoder ready actuators can be used to install several popular hollow shaft encoders. They are
available with an extended rotor journal and a threaded rear housing. The motors use a proprietary
manufacturing process which incorporates engineering thermoplastics in the rotor drive nut and a
stainless steel Acme lead-screw that allows the motor to be much more efficient and durable than
todays more commonly used V-thread/bronze nut configurations.
Extended Rotor Journal for all Hybrid sizes

Haydon Hybrid Linear Actuators are available with an
extended rotor journal. This extended rotor journal can be
used for encoder installation, manual adjustment, or flag
installation for a positioning sensor.
Size 23 Mounting Face Plate for

Size 17 Hybrids
Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions, Inc. offers a size
23 mounting pattern for its hybrid Size 17 linear
actuators.
Home Position Switch for all Hybrids (except Size 8)

A miniature electronic home position switch capable of monitoring the home positions of linear actuators. The switch mounts on
the rear sleeve of captive linear motors and allows the user to identify start, stop or home postions. When ordering motors with
the home position switch, the part number should be preceded by an S prefix.
End of Stroke Proximity Sensor for all sizes of Hybrids

The sensor incorporates a hall effect device, which is activated by a rare earth magnet embedded in
the end of the internal screw. The compact profile of the sensor allows for installation in limited space
applications.

The sensor has virtually unlimited cycle life. Special cabling and connectors can also be provided.
When ordering motors with the proximity sensor, the part number should be preceded by a P prefix.
Black Ice TFE Coated Lead-screws for all Hybrids

(certain conditions apply)
Where applications require the use of a greaseless screw and nut interface Haydon Kerk Motion
Solutions offers TFE coated lead-screws.

A dry (non-lubricated) TFE coated lead-screw provides improved performance in both
life and thrust as compared to a conventional stainless steel lead-screw. TFE can be applied to a
wide variety of lead-screw pitches and is available for Haydon brand captive, non-captive and
external linear linear actuators.
Integrated Anti-backlash Nut for all Hybrids (except Size 34)

All sizes (except Size 34) of captive and non-captive hybrid stepper motors can be equipped with
an integral anti-backlash feature.

There is a normal backlash between the lead screw and integral rotor nut. Haydon
actuators are designed for millions of cycles. However, over time additional backlash could increase
and eventually double. Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions Integrated Anti-backlash nut can eliminate all
backlash. Designed specifically for the Haydon captive and non-captive hybrid motors, these nuts
use an opposing spring force to eliminate backlash between the screw and the nut interface. The
nuts will self-compensate and accommodate any wear.

Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions application engineers can help you select the
appropriate preload for your application.

In certain applications, it is required to have both rotary and linear motion.

Such an application, for example, is in the robotic picking and placing of components where it may be required to axially move a component to an insertion
position and then rotate the component to screw it in place. Another type of
application requiring a shaft, which may selectively rotate and/or reciprocate, is
in the precise control of laparoscopic and other such medical instruments.

In either type of application, it is frequently required that the linear
motion be locked while rotary motion takes place. Conventional motor arrangements are often complicated and heavy, a substantial disadvantage for
robotics applications. A problem with motors having linear motion is that the
motors frequently provide inadequate output shaft support when heavy side
loads are imposed on the output shafts.

The Haydon line of dual motion actuators provides independent linear and rotary motion from a compact package.
The actuators are based on unique, patented designs and incorporate proven motor technology. These units simplify product
development by replacing what would otherwise be far more bulky and complex mechanisms. Another feature of this design is to
provide an electric motor in which linear and rotary motions are controllable independently of one another.

A limitless number of operating parameters are offered allowing each device to be custom manufactured according to
customer specific application requirements. For a rotary/linear motor, it is desirable that the linear and rotary motions be controllable independently of one another. These devices can be run using a standard two axis stepper motor driver. Performance can
be enhanced using chopper and/or microstepping drives.

For linear actuator data for the dual motion actuators please see page 91, the 35000 Series (Size 14), and page 100,
43000 Series (Size 17), hybrid linear actuators sections of this catalog. The curves for the rotary portion of the motors appear in

Can-Stack Linear Actuators

Haydon linear actuators provide both a broader range and,

for a given size, significantly higher thrust
The basic motors incorporate a threaded rotor in conjunction with a (lead-screw) shaft to provide rapid linear
movement in two directions (inward and outward). Available step increments vary with the motor frame sizes and are
dependent on the step angle of the motor and the lead screw pitch. A captive or non-captive shaft (lead-screw) option
can be supplied for every basic size. Most of the basic sizes also offer an external linear option. The captive shaft
configuration features a built-in anti-rotation design whereas the non-captive shaft requires the customer to provide
external anti-rotation. Both unipolar and bipolar coil configurations are available.
Unique features impart ruggedness and reliability that assure long life and consistent performance. Rare earth
magnets are available for even higher thrust. All basic frame sizes are built with dual ball bearings for greater motion
control, precise step accuracy and long life. Most of the Haydon brand motors can also be electronically microstepped for tighter controls.
Applications include medical instrumentation, office equipment, machinery automation, robotics, sophisticated
pumping systems and other automated devices which require precise remote controlled linear movement in a broad
range of temperature environments.

TFE Coated Lead-screws
TFE coated leadscews for applications that

require a permanent, dry lubricant
20000 Series, non-captive
Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions, Inc. offers a TFE coated leadscrew option for its Can-Stack Series linear actuators. The use of
a TFE coated lead-screw allows for a greaseless screw and nut
interface. This lead-screw option is ideal for applications where
conventional oils and greases can not be used for lead-screw
lubrication.

A non-lubricated TFE coated lead-screw provides improved performance in both life and thrust as compared to a dry
stainless steel lead-screw. TFE can be applied to a wide variety
of lead-screw pitches and is available for the Haydon captive,
non-captive and external linear linear actuators.

The TFE coated lead-screw is typically used for
applications where contamination from grease or lubricants
must be avoided, such as silicon wafer handling and clean room

Options for Can-Stack: Switches/Sensors

Home Position Switch

A miniature electronic home position switch capable of monitoring the home
positions of linear actuators. The switch mounts on the rear sleeve of captive linear
motors and allows the user to identify start, stop or home postions. Depending on
your preference, contacts can be normally open or normally closed. The contact
closure is repeatable to within one step position, identifying linear movements as low
as 0.0005-in (0.0013 cm) per step. Multiple contact switches are also available.

The switch allows device manufacturers the ability to monitor movements
more precisely for greater control and improved Q.C. When ordering motors with the
home position switch, the part number should be preceded by an S.

Rotary Stepper Motors

Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions, Inc. also offers rotary motors that
are built to provide exceptionally high torque to size ratios.
By utilizing a patented enlarged rotor with low inductance coils, the motors provide superior torque and
continuous, reliable high performance. At rated voltage,
the 46 mm motor produces 16 oz.-in. of holding torque,
the 36 mm motor produces 4.5 oz.-in., the 26 mm motor
produces 1.8 oz.-in. and the 20 mm motor produces 0.65
oz.-in. Optional rare earth magnets may be specified
for even higher torque. Bronze sleeve bearings are
standard, ball bearings are also available.

Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions, Inc. has patented
technology and the facilities to produce these motors in
high volume. We provide rapid turn-around for prototypes
and production orders. Custom designs and special
engineering requirements such as special shaft diameters,
lengths and mounting flanges are welcome.

Some typical applications for Haydon rotary motors
include medical equipment, bar code scanning devices,
printing equipment, laboratory instrumentation and other
high torque, small space mechanisms.

Pancake
Stepper
Motors with

The Haydon 80000 Series stepper motor is designed for applications

where accurate positioning, high torque and very thin packaging are desirable
characteristics. This motor has a maximum diameter of 3.15-in (80 mm) and
is less than 1/2-in (12.7 mm) thick.

Typical two-phase can-stack motors have coils mounted alongside
each other, requiring a certain minimum thickness.

This pancake motor features a patented design, in which one coil is
mounted inside the other. The motors permanent magnet rotor is a ring that
is located in between the coils.

Applications include business machines, computer peripherals and
industrial equipment and automation. Accommodations can be made for
configurations that require unipolar coils, special shafts and other mountings.

AC SYNCHRONOUS LINEAR
ACTUATOR STEPPER MOTORS
AC Synchronous Stepping Motors

AC Synchronous Motors
Stepping motors can also be run on AC (Alternating Current). However,
one phase must be energized through a properly selected capacitor.
In this case the motor is limited to only one synchronous speed. For
instance, if 60 hertz is being supplied, there are 120 reversals or alterations of the power source. The phase being energized by a capacitor is also producing the same number of alterations at an offset time
sequence. The motor is really being energized at the equivalent of 240
steps per second. For a 15 rotary motor, 24 steps are required to make
one revolution (24 SPR). This becomes a 600 RPM synchronous motor.
240 Steps per Revolution x 60 seconds
= 600 RPM
24 Steps per Revolution

In the case of a linear actuator the linear speed produced is dependent on the resolution per step of the motor. For example if 60 hertz is supplied to a .001-in/step motor the resulting speed is .240-in per second (240 steps per second times .001-in/
step). Many of the Haydon stepping motors are available as 300 or 600 RPM AC synchronous motors.

Motor part numbers are for a captive shaft. For a non-captive shaft, change the middle letter from an H to an F. Example 1: A35H47-24
with a non-captive shaft becomes A35F47-24.
Exception: A43K4U-24 and A43K4V-24, for a non-captive shaft substitute J in place of the K.
Example 2: A43K4U-24 with a non-captive shaft becomes A43J4U-24.
For an external linear shaft, add the three digit suffix - 800 to the captive shaft part number.
Example 3: A35H47-24 with an external linear shaft becomes A35H47-24-800.
All standard motors operate at 24 Volts, represented in the part number by the suffix - 24 (A35H47-24).

Motor part numbers are for

a captive shaft. For a noncaptive shaft, change
the third digit from a 4 to
an 3.
Example 1: A26441-24
with a non-captive shaft
becomes A26341-24.
Exception: When the third
digit is 5
for a non-captive shaft
substitute 8. Example 2:
A26544-24 with a noncaptive shaft becomes
A26844-24.
For an external linear
shaft, add the three digit
suffix - 800 to the captive
shaft part number.
Example 3: A26441-24 with
an external linear shaft becomes A26441-24-800.
All standard motors operate
at 24 Volts, represented in
the part number by the suffix
- 24 (A36443-24).
** Select motors available with 24 Volts or 120 Volts (replace 24 with 120).

Drives for Stepper Motors


Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions High Performance Micro Stepping Chopper
Drives based on some of the most advanced technology in the world today. Providing a
cost effective solution for production volume requirements, the small size allows designers to use these Drives in limited space and they are also easily integrated with other
electronic systems. Design time is reduced because incorporating these Drives is far
simpler than developing a custom drive circuit. They are suitable for driving 2-phase
step motors (maximum current ratings of 2.8 A and 5.5 A rms per phase). These specially designed Drives deliver optimum performance throughout a greater speed range.
By using an advanced bipolar constant-current chopping technique, and a maximum
input voltage of 80 VDC, they can produce more speed and power from the same
motor, compared with traditional technologies such as L/R drives.

The DCM8027 and DCM8054 feature high performance, low cost,
compact size, mixed decay current control for less motor heating,
automatic idle-current reduction and micro step resolutions from
1/2 step to 1/256. There are fourteen micro step resolutions
selectable in decimal and binary. The output current levels and
micro step resolutions are easily set via the 8 bit DIP switch.
These Drives are suitable for 4, 6, and 8 lead motors.

Ideal for a wide range of stepping motors such as
low voltage linear motors, used in various kinds of
machines, such as X-Y tables, labeling machines, laser
cutters, engraving machines, and pick-place devices.
These Drives are particularly useful in motor
applications requiring low noise, low vibration,
high speed and high precision requirements.

The Haydon DCS4020 Chopper Drive by Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions, Inc. delivers optimum performance throughout a greater speed range. This new technology drive has been designed for easy set up and use. The Haydon DCS4020 is
ideal for development projects where a single power supply is all that is necessary to easily run the motor. The motor current is
set using an on-board potentiometer and no external current setting resistors are required.

The DCS4020 is also feature-packed. The Driver provides all the
basic motor controls including full or half-stepping of bipolar steppers, directional control, and output enable control. An oscillator circuit is standard on the
drive with an on-board speed control potentiometer. In addition, external input/
output signals allow complete remote control of all drive functions. All electrical
connectors have removable plugs incorporating screw type terminals.

A compact, microstepping drive for bipolar stepper motors that provides a cost effective
solution for production volumes. Its ease of integration and small physical size allows for
quick integration into your design.
The Whisper incorporates micro-stepping technology, a controller and runs off a
single power supply. With eight microsteps per full step, the Whisper can smooth
out cogging often associated with Can-stack steppers. The drive has a mixed
current decay mode for reduced resonance and improved microstepping.
Microstepping also reduces audible noise in the motor.

technology with a fully programmable, integrated stepper motor drive. By combining technologies into a single preasssembled
unit, Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions is able to improve system integration for the equipment OEM or end user. The overall cost for
the customer is also lowered by offering a complete solution as it eliminates the need for rotary-to-linear conversion, as well as
simplifies product development with fewer components required.
BGS products are designed to position heavy loads and maintain repeatability and accuracy while withstanding significant
cantilevered loading. A Black Ice TFE coated lead-screw drives a precision nut embedded in a machined aluminum carriage
mounted to a stainless-steel ball rail. The result is a smooth operating, yet rigid linear motion system. Maximum stroke lengths:
BGS04 18 in. (460 mm); BGS06 24 in. (610 mm); BGS08 30 in. (760 mm).
The RGS Linear Rail is a screw driven rail system that offers exceptional linear speed, torsional stiffness and stability, accurate
positioning, and long life in a compact, value-priced assembly. The integral mounting base allows support over the entire length if
desired. The length and speed of the RGS is not limited by critical screw speed, allowing high RPM and linear speeds, even over
long spans. Lengths up to 8 feet (2.4 meters) can readily be built, and longer lengths are possible on a special order basis.
RGS linear rails come standard with a wear-compensating, anti-backlash driven carriage. Additional driven or passive carriages can be added, along with application specific customization. Linear guides, without the drive screw, are also available.
WGS Linear Rails feature a more compact profile and improved torsional stiffness and stability. Made of the same quality components used in the RGS series. The integral mounting base can provide support over the entire length that can extend up to 8
feet (2.4 meters). Longer lengths are possible on a special order basis.
The WGS utilizes sliding plane bearings on a low-profile aluminum guide rail that keeps the motion smooth throughout the
travel distance. The lead-screw is precision made of high-quality stainless steel rolled on-site at a Haydon Kerk manufacturing
facility.
LRS Linear Rail Systems use a precision lead screw assembly mechanism to provide controlled positioning along the axis of a
robust aluminum linear slide. The carriage is a small platform with sliding element linear bearings that glide within this specially
configured extrusion. The lead screw used in the system is provided with various leads and shaft end configurations that accommodate virtually any source of rotary power.
When integrated with Haydon Kerk Stepper Motors and electronic drives the various linear rail systems offer virtually
limitless linear motion control possibilities from high-efficiency industrial automation systems to extremely precise
analytical and diagnostic equipment systems used by the medical industry.
More importantly, every Haydon Kerk linear rail product is supported by an experienced technical team recognized
for innovation, customization, and dedicated customer service.

Information needed to properly size a linear rail system

Haydon Kerk Linear Rail Systems are designed to be precision motion devices. Many variables must
be considered before applying a particular rail system in an application. The following is a basic checklist of
information needed that will make it easier for the Haydon Kerk engineering team to assist you in choosing
the proper linear rail. See order form on last page of this catalog.

1) o Maximum Load? _______________ (N or lbs.)
2) o Load Center of Gravity (cg) Distance and Height (mm or inches)? See illustrations (A) (B) (C) below.
Dimensions (o mm / o inch):
o (A) _______ ... OR... o (B) ______
AND... o (C) ________
LINEAR RAIL
TECHNOLOGY CHECKLIST
(A)
(C)
(B)
3) o Rail Mount Orientation? The force needed to move the load is dependent on the orientation of the
load relative to the force of gravity. For example, total required force in the horizontal plane (D) is a function
of friction and the force needed for load acceleration (Ff + Fa). Total force in the vertical plane is a function
of friction, load acceleration, and gravity (Ff + Fa + Fg).
Orientation:

o (D)
o (E) ______
o (F)
o (G)
o (H) ______
222

(Continued)
4) o Stroke Length to Move Load? _______________ (mm or inches)

Overall rail size will be a function of stroke length needed to move the load, the rail frame size (load capability), the motor size, and whether or not an integrated stepper motor programmable drive system is added.
5) o Move Profile?
A trapezoidal move profile divided into 3 equal segments (J) is a common move profile and easy to work
with. Another common move profile is a triangular profile divided into 2 equal segments (K).
LINEAR RAIL
(J)
(K)
If using a trapezoidal (J) or triangular (K) move profile, the following is needed

a) o Point to point move distance __________ (mm or inches)
b) o Move time __________ (seconds) including time of acceleration and deceleration

c) o Dwell time between moves __________ (seconds)
The trapezoidal move profile (J) is a good starting point in helping to size a system for prototype work.
A complex move profile (L) requires more information.

a) o Time (in seconds) including: T1, T2, T3, T4, T5Tn and Tdwell
b) o Acceleration / Deceleration (mm/sec.2 or inches/sec.2) including: A1, A2, A3An

For more information call Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions Engineering at 203 756 7441.
(L)
223

(Continued)
6) o Position Accuracy Required? __________ (mm or inches)

Accuracy is defined as the difference between the theoretical position and actual position capability of the
system. Due to manufacturing tolerances in components, actual travel will be slightly different than theoretical commanded position. See figure (M) below.
7) o Position Repeatability Required? __________ (mm or inches)
Repeatability is defined as the range of positions attained when the rail is commanded to approach the
same position multiple times under identical conditions. See figure (M) below.
(M)
LINEAR RAIL
8) o Positioning Resolution Required? __________ (mm/step or inches/step)

Positioning resolution is the smallest move command that the system can generate. The resolution is a
function of many factors including the drive electronics, lead screw pitch, and encoder (if required). The
terms resolution and accuracy should never be used interchangeably.
9) o Closed-Loop Position Correction Required? o YES o NO
In stepper motor-based linear rail systems, position correction is typically accomplished using a rotary
incremental encoder (either optical or magnetic).
10) o Life Requirement? (select the most important application parameter)
a) o Total mm or inches _________
... or ... b) o Number of Full Strokes _________

... or ... c) o Number of Cycles _________

11) o Operating Temperature Range _____________ (C or F)

BGSTM Linear Rails with Recirculating Ball Slide

The BGS Linear Rail combines many technologies into a single integrated linear motion platform.
The system provides excellent load capability and is
engineered for both normal and overhanging loads.
High roll, pitch, and yaw moment loading capability
allows the system to maintain tight accuracy and
repeatability, even in applications requiring
significant cantilevered loading.
At the heart of the BGS Linear Rail system is a
Haydon hybrid linear actuator with a precision 303
stainless steel lead-screw. The lead screw drives a
machined aluminum carriage mounted to a precision
stainless steel ball slide resulting in a rigid, smoothoperating motion system. The screw is coated with
Black Ice TFE coating providing a permanent wearresistant dry lubrication.
When integrated with an IDEA Drive, the system combines Size 17 Haydon hybrid linear actuator technology with a fully programmable, integrated stepper motor drive. By combining technologies into a single preasssembled unit, Haydon Kerk Motion
Solutions is able to improve system integration for the equipment OEM or end user. The overall cost for the customer is also lowered by offering a complete solution as it eliminates the need for rotary-to-linear conversion, and simplified product development.

Motorized Wide Guide Screw Linear Slides

Made of the same quality components used in the
RGS series, the Kerk Motorized WGS Linear
Slide utilizes a screw-driven carriage that offers reliable, continuous linear speed while maintaining accurate positioning. The length and speed of the WGS is
not limited by critical screw speed, allowing high RPM,
linear speed and long stroke lengths. The WGS slide
has a unique, compact profile that provides improved
torsional stiffness and stability over RGS and RGW
products. The integral mounting base can provide support over the entire length that can extend up to 8 feet
(2.4 meters). Longer lengths are possible on a special
order basis.
WGS 06 with Size 17 [43 mm] hybrid

linear stepper motor and IDEA Drive
Standard leads include .100-in, .200-in, .500-in and

1.00-in (2.54, 5.08, 12.7 and 25.4 mm) travel per revolution. Many optional leads, both inch and metric based,
offer everything from high efficiency to non-backdriving
leads for vertical applications, eliminating the need for
brakes.
With Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions, Inc. wide range of available leads, speeds of more than 60 inches per second (1.5 meters per
second) are possible, rivaling belts and cables while offering superior positioning accuracy, repeatability and axial stiffness.
The WGS utilized sliding plane bearings on a low profile aluminum guide rail that keeps the motion smooth throughout the travel
distance. The lead-screw is precision-made of high-quality stainless steel rolled on-site at our U.S. manufacturing facility. All moving surfaces include Kerkite high performance polymers running on Kerkote TFE coating.
This system combines many Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions patented motion technologies into a single integrated, linear motion
control system. The Motorized WGS linear rails feature standard wear-compensating, anti-backlash driven carriages to insure
repeatable and accurate positioning. When integrated with an IDEA Drive, the system combines Haydon hybrid linear actuator
technology with a fully programmable, integrated stepper motor drive. By combining technologies into a single preassembled unit,
Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions is able to improve system integration for the equipment OEM or end user.
The slides come with a wear-compensating, anti-backlash driven carriage. Additional driven or passive carriages can be added,
along with application specific customization. Linear guides, without the drive screw, are also available.

RGS Linear Guides without Lead-Screw

Kerk RGS Linear Guide Series without Lead-screw
LINEAR
GUIDES
Kerk RGS Linear Guides provide a strong, stable platform for a variety of linear motion applications.
The RGS Linear Guide is designed to easily mount to any flat surface, or bridge free spans, with
a convenient, easy-access carriage. The splined aluminum profile, with Kerkote TFE
coating, combines low friction linear guidance with torsional stability. The Linear
Guides can be configured in lengths up to 8 feet without special tooling, with one or
more carriages, in standard or custom configurations. The wide linear
guide series features a wider base for even greater stability. Kerk RGS Linear
Guides are constructed of high strength, extruded aluminum and
Kerkite composite polymer with Kerkote TFE on all critical surfaces.
This proven combination of materials assures exceptionally long
life without the need for adjustment, lubrication or maintenance.
The simplicity of the RGS Linear Guide makes it both
easy to use and a great value. Similar to other
Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions products, it can be
easily modified to custom configurations to suit
most applications. The Kerk RGS Linear Guides
are perfect companions to the Kerk RGS series
of screw-driven linear slides. All Kerk RGS Series
products share the same rail and carriage geometry and
simplify equipment design and reduce part counts, and are equally
suitable for use with Kerk lead-screws or any other type of drive or actuator.

Non-Motorized WGS Linear Rails

Wide Guide Screw Linear Slides

Made of the same quality components used
in the RGS series, the Kerk WGS Linear
Slide utilizes a screw-driven carriage that offers
reliable, continuous linear speed while maintaining accurate positioning. The length and speed
of the WGS is not limited by critical screw speed,
allowing high RPM, linear speed and long stroke
lengths. The WGS slide has a unique, compact
profile that provides improved torsional stiffness
and stability over RGS and RGW products. The
integral mounting base can provide support over
the entire length that can extend up to 8 feet (2.4
meters). Longer lengths are possible on a special
order basis.
WGS 06 - B57

Standard leads include .100-in, .200-in, .500-in

and 1.00-in (2.54, 5.08, 12.7 and 25.4 mm) travel
per revolution. Many optional leads, both inch
and metric based, offer everything from high
efficiency to non-backdriving leads for vertical applications, eliminating the need for brakes.
With Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions, Inc. wide range of available leads, speeds of more than 60 inches per second (1.5 meters
per second) are possible, rivaling belts and cables while offering superior positioning accuracy, repeatability and axial stiffness.
The slides come with a wear-compensating, anti-backlash driven carriage. Additional driven or passive carriages can be added,
along with application specific customization. Linear guides, without the drive screw, are also available.

LRS Linear Rail Systems Slide Technology


The LRS Linear Rail System in a variety of configurations, both motorized and non-motorized. These
precision linear rail systems consist of a stationary base and a load bearing carriage that travels along a
rigid extruded aluminum rail. The LRS Linear Rail System is available with several in-line motor options
including a single stack or double stack size 17 stepper motor, a stepper motor with an integral chopper
drive, or the IDEA programmable linear actuator, consisting of the stepper motor, drive, and controller
programmed through a graphic user interface (GUI). The LRS is also available without a motor, easily allowing the designer flexibility to integrate with a variety of motor types and belt and pulley configurations.
The LRS carriage design is unique; it controls slide bearing play with a patent pending self-adjusting linear
bearing. Integrated along the entire length of the rail system are T slots allowing the ability to mount
limit switches and sensors. The lead screw is made from 303 stainless steel and can be configured with
optional Black Ice TFE coating for durable and permanent lubrication. The LRS Linear Rail system comes
standard with a general purpose lead screw nut, but for extreme control, the system can be configured with
an optional Kerk CMP or WDG precision anti-backlash nut.

Haydon Kerk Linear Rail Systems are designed to be precision motion devices. Many variables must be considered
before applying a particular rail system in an application. The following is a basic checklist of information needed that
will make it easier for the Haydon Kerk engineering team to assist you in choosing the proper linear rail.
Name _________________________________________________ Company ____________________________________________

Address ________________________________ City ________________________________ State _______ Zip _________________
Country_______________
Phone ____________________________ Email _____________________________________________
1) o Maximum Load? ________ (N or lbs.)

2) o Load Center of Gravity (cg) Distance and Height? (mm or inches) See illustrations (A) (B) (C) below.
(C)
(B)
(A)
3) o Rail Mount Orientation?
The force needed to move the load is dependent on the orientation of the load relative
to the force of gravity. For example, total
required force in the horizontal plane (D) is a
function of friction and the force needed for
load acceleration (Ff + Fa). Total force in the
vertical plane is a function of friction, load
acceleration, and gravity (Ff + Fa + Fg).
Dimensions
(o mm / o inch):
o (A) ________
... OR o (B) ________
AND... o (C) ________
Orientation:
o
o
o
o
o
(D)
(E) ____
(F)
(G)
(H) ____
4) o Stroke Length to Move Load? _______________ (mm or inches). Overall rail size will be a function of stroke length needed to move the load,
the rail frame size (load capability), the motor size, and whether programmable drive system is added.
5) o Move Profile? A trapezoidal move
(K)
(J)
profile divided into 3 equal segments is a common

move profile and easy to work with. Another common move profile is a triangular profile divided into
2 equal segments.

o (J) Trapezoidal

o (K) Triangular

o (L) Complex
If using a trapezoidal (J) or triangular (K) move profile, the following is needed
a) o Point to point move distance ________ (mm or inches)
b) o Move time _______ (seconds) including time of acceleration and deceleration
c) o Dwell time between moves _______ (seconds)
The trapezoidal move profile is a good starting point in helping to size a system for prototype work.
A complex move profile (L) requires more information.
a) o Time (in seconds) including: T1, T2, T3, T4, T5Tn and Tdwell
b) o Acceleration/Deceleration (in mm/sec.2 or inches/sec.2) including: A1, A2, A3An
For details contact Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions Engineering call 203 756 7441.
(L)
6) o Position Accuracy Required? _________ (mm or inches). Accuracy = the difference

between the theoretical position and actual position capability of the system. Due to manufacturing tolerances,
actual travel will be slightly different than theoretical commanded position. See figure (M) on right.
(M)
7) o Position Repeatability Required? _________ (mm or inches) Repeatability = the range

of positions attained when the rail is commanded to approach the same position multiple times under identical
conditions. See figure (M) on right.
8)
o Positioning Resolution Required? _________ (mm/step or inches/step).
Positioning resolution is the smallest move command that the system can generate. The resolution is a function of many factors including the drive electronics, lead screw pitch, and encoder (if required). The terms resolution and accuracy should never be used interchangeably.
9) o Closed-Loop Position Correction Required?: o YES o NO
In stepper motor-based linear rail systems, position correction is typically accomplished using a rotary incremental encoder (either optical or magnetic).
10) o Life Requirement?: (select the most important application parameter)

a) o Total mm or inches _________ b) o Number of Full Strokes _________ c) o Number of Cycles _________
11) o Operating Temperature Range? __________ (C or F)
a) o Will the system operate in an environment in which the worst case temperature is above room temperature?
b) o Will the system be mounted in an enclosure with other equipment generating heat?
12) o Controller / Drive Information? a) o Haydon Kerk IDEA Drive (with Size 17 Motors only)
b) o Customer Supplied Drive... Type?... o Chopper Drive o L / R Drive
Model: _________________________________
13) o Power Supply Voltage? _______________ (VDC)
14)* o Step Resolution?
a) o Full Step
b) o Half-Step
c) o Micro-Step
15)* o Drive Current? _____________ (A r m s / Phase) and _____________ (A p e a k / Phase)
