Long life for captive linear actuator
Haydon Switch and Instrument has developed a size 17 captive linear actuator.
The various linear actuator options deliver unmatched capabilities, opening avenues for equipment designers who require performance and endurance in a compact package.
Built for long life (several million cycles) and superior performance, the size 14 linear actuator features engineering thermoplastics in the rotor drive nut and a stainless steel Acme lead screw.
With this patented design, quiet and maintenance free operation are ensured.
This captive hybrid linear actuator is available in a wide variety of resolutions ranging from 0.000125 to 0.002in per step and delivers thrusts of up to 25lb without compromising long life or cost.
The captive linear actuator is designed with an internal anti-rotation mechanism and is especially well suited for applications in which external anti-rotation methods would be difficult or impossible to employ.
Captive linear travel requirements beyond a few inches may be impractical, and the factory should be consulted in these cases to discuss the best solution for the application.
Applications requiring precise positioning and rapid motion are best suited for this motor.
Typical applications include medical equipment, x-y tables, automation of any kind, valve control and many more.
Priced aggressively, this product is ideal for drop-in replacements to improve performance and life or for incorporation into new projects.
In addition to standard configurations, HSI can custom design this motor to meet specific application requirements.
