Modular Linear Actuators
Unlimited possible combinations. Customized solutions for a range of drive types and guides.
Nook Modular Linear Actuators are flexible positioning systems made of self-supporting and wear resistant aluminum profiles. Modular linear actuators can be used as a single axis solution or assembled for a multitude of gantry XY and XYZ positioning duties including inspection, pick-and-place, assembly or dispensing applications.
Used in processes from simple positioning tasks to highly complex multi-axis systems.
Unmatched Flexibility
Fully assembled with either roller bearing, profile rail or V-groove guidance and belt, ball screw, acme screw or rack and pinion drive. Matched non-driven models are available for system guidance requirements.
Over 35 models in several sizes to meet a variety of guidance, load and speed requirements for precision applications.

Primary Guidance Types
Nook offers linear actuators with a choice of guidance systems. We use a diverse variety of guidance types to meet the challenging
demands for all possible applications. They are adjustable to reduce lash, splash-proof and dust-tight.
V Groove Guided
The carriage moves along the unit guided by V-slides.
Internal Roller Bearing Guided
Carriage is guided by hardened steel guide rods on the inside of the actuator.
External Roller Bearing Guided
Carriage is guided by hardened steel guide rods on the outside of the actuator.
Internal Profile Rail Guided
Carriage is guided by a single or dual internal profile rail on the outside of the actuator.
