Lead screw stepper motor
What is a lead screw stepper motor? A lead screw motor is a single component which combines a stepper motor with a lead screw. The main goal is to convert rotary motion into a linear movement. This makes lead screw motors suitable for a variety of applications where there is a requirement for positioning, when speed needs to be controlled or if there is little installation space so a compact linear drive unit is required.
How do lead screw stepper motors work? The system of the motor, lead screw and nut combination work in parallel as one system. This is more efficient as it reduces the need for separate couplings within the unit. The lead screw stepper motor is suitable for multiple applications and depending on the parameters of the applications, additions can be added to the lead screw motors such as an encoder or brake.

Frequently asked questions
An igus spindle motor combines a stepper motor with an integrated lead screw. Also known as a lead screw stepper motor, it works with a matching lead screw nut to convert rotary motion into controlled linear movement.
Spindle motors are used for linear positioning tasks, such as adjusting machine settings, moving components and positioning laboratory equipment. Their compact design makes them useful where installation space is limited.
The igus drylin E range includes three motor sizes with holding torques from 0.1Nm to 5.9Nm. Different lead screw types and pitches allow the motor assembly to be matched to the application’s speed and force requirements.
Yes. igus lead screw stepper motors are available with or without an encoder. An encoder provides feedback on motor movement, helping a compatible controller monitor positioning.
Start with the required load, travel distance, speed and available installation space. The motor size, lead screw pitch and matching nut all affect performance. The igus lead screw motor configurator helps you select a suitable combination.
Yes. A stepper motor needs a compatible controller or driver to operate. igus offers drylin E motor control options; selection depends on the motor’s electrical requirements and how you want to control its movement.
