Ball Screw Linear Actuators with NEMA Motors

Miniature Motorized Ball Screw Assemblies

BE Series Miniature Ball Screw Linear Actuators (NEMA 08–23) combine hybrid stepper motors with integrated ball screws and nuts to deliver high torque, precision, and efficiency in a compact form factor. Unlike the BS Series Miniature Ball Screw Actuators, which are available as ready-to-ship, fixed configurations, the BE Series is fully customizable to match specific performance requirements.

Designed for engineers and machine builders, the BE Series supports a wide range of speed, thrust, and positioning resolution options. With multiple motor lengths and lead configurations available, these actuators provide flexibility to match force, speed, and positioning needs across diverse applications. Optimized for high-speed operation, they achieve over 90% transmission efficiency—reducing required drive torque while maintaining equivalent thrust and positioning performance, improving overall system efficiency.
