LM Guide Actuator

The LM Guide Actuator is a compact actuator with high rigidity and high precision that has an integrated LM Guide with a ball screw. Reductions in the number of parts and design man-hours can be realised by adopting the LM Guide Actuator.

Caged Ball LM Guide Actuator: This model achieves higher speed operation, lower noise and longer-term maintenance-free operation than the conventional type model KR by using ball cages in the LM Guide units and the Ball Screw unit.

LM Guide Actuator(full-ball type): A series of various types are available from 1 mm to 25 mm in ball screw lead.

GL-N Actuator:Lightweight, high rigidity aluminum base with Caged Ball LM Guides has been utilized for the guide portion. A screw or belt options are available for the drive system.

CRES:Low-cost,User Friendly Actuator, Dust-proof and Waterproof spec compliant with IP65 standard. Used in various applications requiring simple control.

VLA Actuator:Simple Design, Low Cost Simple Control Method Durability & Long Term Maintenance Free Environmentally Friendly & Energy Efficient Contamination from lubricants, exhaust will be eliminated. High performance, High Productivity Universal, Flexible.
