Position actuator

Positioning linear actuators are used to provide linear positioning of loads, often large. Many different versions are available, providing differing performance characteristics. These actuators typically offer repeatability positioning from a few microns to 100 microns, with loads from a few grams to 1000s kgs. Construction is often an aluminium extrusion, to which linear guide rails are fitted, with drive coming from either a belt or ball screw. Belt driven actuators are very useful for long stroke applications, where strokes in excess of 10m are possible. A variety of motors are fitted according to the application.
