Festo Micro Linear Actuator, 1500mm, 24V dc, 200N, 1300mm/s, 8083577

Need to automate simple back-and-forth or press-and-clamp motions in a flash? Turn to this electric linear actuator from Festo. It's powered by a stepper motor and a toothed belt, so slides up to a speedy 1.3m/s, making it up to five times faster than comparable ball-screw devices. Getting set up is a breeze, as the actuator, motor and servo drive are all integrated into a single unit. Using the buttons on the drive, you can manually set parameters such as speed, distance and force, so you don't need to worry about downloading additional software.

• Digital I/O and IO-Link technology support provide flexible communication with the controller
• Recirculating ball bearing guide keeps the slider safely on track
• Automatic end-position feedback ensures distance settings are precise

• Robotics systems
• Assembly lines
• Printing presses
• Packaging facilities

The slider can move a substantial maximum load of 200N and has a strong lifting force of 600N, for versatility.

No, to work at its best, this toothed-belt model needs to be mounted horizontally.
