Linear actuators encompass linear guides that incorporate various drive mechanisms, such as our ball screw assemblies, lock-in-place lead screw assemblies, and high-speed belt systems, all built with essential components like linear rails, shafts, carriages, bearings, and screws of diverse diameters and lead sizes. We offer actuators with NEMA motors ranging from sizes 08 to 42, or you can order products with only motor mounts or base plates. The categories below are organized by maximum payload, stroke length, and speed. Additionally, you can choose actuators based on carriage movement methods, including gliding surface technology™ in the form of self-lubricating undercarriage liners, ball bearing profile rails, or flat-top carriages that ride on plain bearing pillow blocks that glide along small shafts embedded on small support rails on a base plate.
