SIMO (UG) Series Linear Actuators

The SIMO® Series is a modular linear actuator platform built on a low-part-count extrusion design that simplifies assembly, reduces cost, and enables easy customization. The SIMO UG Series delivers a flexible, affordable solution by consolidating multiple configurations into a single, consistent platform with interchangeable options. Precision rails are available in low-profile or tall geometries, offering tight-space adaptability or added stiffness, with significantly improved straightness, flatness, and twist compared to typical extrusions. The system supports two bearing types—self-lubricating FrelonGOLD® for contaminated environments or V-wheel rollers for higher speeds—and multiple drive options, including lead screw (machined or anti-backlash nut) and belt drive, all within a simplified, scalable architecture.

Performance Benefits

  • Versatile options allow a design engineer to meet multiple application requirements within a single platform.
  • Flexible due to consistent geometry creating a platform of interchangeable options.
  • Affordable with SIMO qualified rails providing machined precision at extrusion prices.
  • Rail heightslow profile for tight spaces or a tall version for greater structural integrity. Each aluminum base rail is uniquely qualified with the SIMO process(Simultaneous Integral Milling Operation) for six times less bow, two times less twist, and two times better flatness. The result is a base rail with machined precision at aluminum extrusion prices.
  • 2 bearing tribologies; self-lubricating FrelonGOLD® plain bearings which are ideally suited for contaminated environments, and V-wheel roller bearings for high speed applications.
  • 2 drive types; lead screw with machined nut or anti-backlash nut, and two versions of belt drives.
