For linear actuators and handling systems, igus offers a wide range of electric motors including DC, EC/BLDC (Brushless DC Motor), and stepper motors. Hybrid stepper motors or DC motors are used in lead screw drives, toothed belts and  rack and pinion drives. Our stepper motors are available in several different sizes and can be extended with encoders and brakes, our DC motors are quiet and cost-effective with the option for batter operation, and our EC motors are ideal for fast, powerful movements.

drylin® electric motors can be easily paired with drylin linear actuators to create an electric linear system that can operate under harsh conditions thanks to motor selections that include IP65 and IP68-rated variants. With a stepper motor from igus, you can design a complete solution for your system or process.
Industries: Packaging, Industrial automation, 3D printers.
