MACCON launches Size 6, 16mm Hybrid linear Actuator

Munich, Febraury 19, 2026 – MACCON launches the new 16000 series Size 6 (16 mm) hybrid stepper linear actuator, the smallest addition to its award-winning miniature motor portfolio. Designed for micro-positioning in space-constrained systems, it delivers up to 50 N of force in a minimal 16 mm package and incorporates multiple patented innovations.

As device footprints continue to shrink, design engineers need compact linear motion solutions without compromising precision. The new Size 6 actuator is purpose-built for miniature device applications and supports the development of even smaller, highly integrated equipment. It is available in three configurations (captive, non-captive, and external linear) and offers step resolutions ranging from 0.00254 mm to 0.0667 mm per step, combining fine positioning with high force density in a very compact form factor.
