Belt Driven Modular Linear Actuators
Designed for high speeds with long distances. Perfect for fast positioning and handling tasks with low maintenance requirements.
Belt Driven Modular Actuators have a distinct advantage due to their ability to be manufactured in virtually any length. Belt drive actuators models include either an external, trapped, or internal belt arraignments. The Belts are made of a high tension steel material that only requires a single adjustment after initial use. No further tension is required. The pulleys have maintenance free ball bearings.
Available for clean room and explosion proof environments.
Excellent performance over long distances
Linear axes with toothed belt drive are suitable for high-speed handling and positioning tasks involving light to heavy loads in which high repeat accuracy with short cycle times are also vital. Drive is provided via a steel-reinforced toothed belt. With standard accessories, the linear axes can be easily combined to create multi-axis systems. Depending on the model range, the carriage is positioned by means of a sliding guide, roller guide or rail guide.
Our linear axes with toothed belt drive stand out due to their high speeds, which deliver impressive results even over long distances. And our innovative technology keeps wear in the units to a minimum. As a result, a long service life is guaranteed, and machine malfunctions are reduced.
