Mattituck, NY -- The electromechanical Bug Series of mini linear motion control actuators produce high actuation forces and precision positioning in small footprint, low weight packages and are an alternative to pneumatic and hydraulic systems. A Kevlar belt drive provides low backlash and low audible noise by eliminating gears between the 24 VDC motor and the drive screw. Absolute position feedback is a standard feature so that position is remembered even if power is removed and so that travel limits can be set at the controller, with an accuracy to ±0.001 inch over the operating temperature range of +32°F to +100°F.

Linear speeds from ,001 to 20 in/sec, built-in end of stroke cushion, full-stroke lengths of from 2.0 to 8.0 inches and an actuation force up to 500 lbs are desirable features for many valve, pump and lifting applications. The Bug Series of mini linear motion control actuators are permanently lubricated for maintenance-free life, and sealed so that they are environmentally safe and cleanroom compatible..

Life has been tested on a 4.0 inch stroke model to one million full-stroke cycles; 8 million inches. Various end connections and trunnion mounts are available to fit the application. A matching controller is available featuring LCD position readout, dynamic braking and remote operation.. Options include a zero-backlash nut, an anti-backdrive brake and a ballscrew and nut.
