NewStep Miniature Linear Actuator

The NSA12 boasts the most compact build and the lowest costing stepper motor actuator. It is used for easily motorizing mirror mounts in confined spaces. If you need a controller for this actuator see our CONEX-NSA12 integrated solution. Newport does not offer a stand-alone controller for this model.

Features

Ideal for Mirror Mounts

With 11mm of travel and compact size, the NSA12 can be used to easily motorize manual positioning stages. For a complete list of compatible manual stages see Stage to Actuator Selection Guide.

Compact Build

At 60 mm length by 30 mm diameter, the NSA12 is the smallest actuator on the catalog. It is great for small, confined spaces.

Non-rotating Tip

NSA actuators feature a non-rotating tip that prevents wear and avoids periodic motion variations during movement. Better positioning repeatability and eliminates tip wear.
