Twin round-shaft slide actuators feature a continuously-supported round rail slide with ball screw actuation and provide robust precision linear motion. Models are available with 12-inch and 24-inch travel distances and are designed for positioning systems and heavy loads. Ready to connect to a NEMA 23 size motor, twin round shaft actuators start at $2,399.00.

Compact slide actuators are self-contained and designed for light loads in harsh or wet conditions in a very small package. Fitted with end-of-travel switch mounts, and ready for a NEMA 17 size motor connection, the units also feature a stainless steel lead screw embedded in a hard-coated aluminum shaft specially machined to match sliding elements. With prices starting at $1,129.00, compact slide actuators are available with travel distances ranging from 6 inches to 36 inches and travel speeds up to 20 inches per second.

LAVL series value linear slide actuators (starting at $789.00) are low-cost units using the latest in sliding element technology. Designed to fit NEMA 17 size motors, units are constructed with hard-coated aluminum guide shafts and a stainless steel lead screw; this versatile unit can be mounted horizontally, vertically, or inverted without loss of load capacity. Ideal for X-Y-Z- positioning systems in harsh or wet environments, LAVL series value linear actuators are available with travel distances ranging from 6 inches to 24 inches.

Round-shaft sliding elements, starting at $269.00, can be combined with other elements to build a huge variety of machine mechanisms. Available in both end- and continuously-supported shafts, elements feature linear ball bearings, carbon-steel shafts and high-quality clear anodized aluminum blocks.
