ABSTRACT:
A step linear actuator includes a stationary member of a magnetic material, a pair of moving units each being in contact with the stationary member and having a magnetic coupling element for magnetically generating a contact force to the stationary member and an opposing face opposing to the opposing face of the other moving unit through a gap therebetween, and a magnetic driver for generating magnetic forces to control the contract force between each moving unit and the stationary member and to cause a relative movement of the pair of moving units with respect to each other.
