Can stack? Hybrid?

Comparing efficiency and capabilities of hybrid stepper motor actuators to can stack stepper motor actuators.


A new white paper from Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions Inc. talks about how they occasionally receive calls from customers wanting to know why the size 17 hybrid linear actuator with an input wattage rating of 7W has better performance than the 46000 can stack version with an input rating of 10W?

The answer to this is the efficiency of the motor itself. The average hybrid motor is about 65% efficient while the can stack actuators average about 25% efficiency. There are two primary reasons for these differences in efficiency.
