Miniature Linear Actuators - Compact

Compact Linear Actuators

Compact lead screw actuators are power-source driven linear guides that use screw diameters of 10 mm or less, giving designers a space-saving motorized guide solution for precise linear motion in tight assemblies. With a low-profile height of just 23 mm, Compact Series linear actuators are built for applications where standard actuators are too large but smooth, repeatable travel is still required. These compact actuators are available with precision-rolled lead screws in 6, 8, and 10 mm diameters, as well as miniature ball screw options up to 8 mm. Lead screw versions use 300 series stainless steel screws with PTFE coating to reduce friction and wear, while ball screw versions use 1050 hardened steel for efficient rolling motion. Constant Force™ anti-backlash nuts help maintain consistent preload and reduce play for reliable positioning performance. Compact Series actuators can be configured with profile rail guidance for higher rigidity, speed, precision, and cantilevered load support, or with gliding surface technology™ using self-lubricating FrelonGOLD® under-carriage liners for quiet, maintenance-free travel with vibration damping and strong performance in dirty environments. Drive options include NEMA 17 and NEMA 23 motors, manual hand knobs, or stub shafts for customer-supplied drive systems.
