maxon motor BLDC brushless DC linear actuator

The maxon motor BLDC combination linear actuator features a useful mixture of fast movements, high torque and holding ability. A precision ground metric thread and nut assembly can be customised to suit individual application mounting requirements.

The unit is available with an external thread for mounting the load and an internal thread for traversing the spindle with a stainless steel and brass combination suiting the application running characteristics. Ceramic and plastic materials are also available.

Featuring the EC-i 30 mm brushless DC motor, the linear actuator is held in an amalgamated bearing block with radial and axial bearings contained inside a planetary gearhead end flange. This is intended to reduce the size and eliminate many alignment issues associated with standalone ball screws and bearing blocks.

The series features speeds of up to 386 mm/s and linear forces up to 2700 N. The linear actuation length and system operating voltages are all changeable and high-resolution encoders enable positioning. The actuation system is suitable for use in general engineering machinery and manufacturing equipment.
