Electrical cylinders are a very good alternative to pneumatic cylinders. Regular run also at low speed, no risk of leak; lower power consumption, expensive supplementary parts such as solenoid valves, chokes or maintenance devices are not necessary, no evacuation noises

The name “Rodless Actuator” comes from this technology’s close relationship to Electric Cylinders sharing many of the same components. The operation of rodless actuators is similar but instead of an extending rod design, a rodless unit features a moving carriage supported by linear bearings within an extruded aluminum chassis. This gives the rodless actuator the ability to guide, support, and position a load.

Best suited for positioning applications where the accuracy and repeatability requirements are more important than axial thrust of the drive train. They can also be used in less precise applications where adequate moment load support is necessary and are ideal building blocks for complete multi axis positioning systems.

Alignment applications require high resolution and step accuracy for optimal performance. Whether you need the capacity for large or small payloads, short or long travel options, quick, rapid moves for assembly processes or slow, steady scans for an inspection project, our linear stages can be configured in thousands of ways to meet your requirements.

These stages deliver nearly twice the accuracy at virtually the same cost as competitive standard-grade options. Lead times of two weeks or less facilitate reduced-time-to-market for equipment manufacturers or provide greater machine uptime for end users in production environments.

Our rotary stages are designed for an array of payloads, resolutions, size configurations and speeds. Like our linear stages, they are highly configurable.

These stages address a wide range of precision positioning applications which require mechanical or optical, two-sided access. These include pin insertion, vision systems, optical gaging and inspection, water jet cutting, and biomedical assays.

Our advanced X-Y gantry positioners are designed from the ground up to provide excellent repeatable accuracy and fast move and settle times. The result -- higher yield and more throughput!

Specifically designed to meet the demands of photonic alignment and assembly systems. With travels of 20, 50, and 100mm, all share a very low profile of only 50mm.

Ideal for Computer-To-Plate systems, photoplotters, wafer scanning systems, and factory automation applications. It provides straight, stiff, cog-free motion at resolutions less than a micron.
