New High Force Size 14 Non-Captive Linear Actuator

In the non-captive linear actuator design, the lead screw runs axially through the center of the motor and must be restrained from rotating for proper operation. This is normally accomplished by attaching the screw to a non-rotating member of the mechanical assembly. As the internal threaded rotor rotates the lead screw will move axially but will not rotate. This design is especially suited for long linear travel requirements and applications where the lead screw is secured at both ends and the motor translates along the lead screw. When incorporating the latter approach, the motor must be prevented from rotating.
