Low profile linear actuators

Rino Industries is to launch a new series of linear actuators, to be known as the LPLA3.

Key benefits are: the use of low profile linear slides allowing for more compact assemblies; high precision; allows higher loading; stiffer design; wide range of application possibilities from x-y pick place and scanning machines; overall height of only 18mm with a stroke of 69mm; base and end plates machined from a single solid aluminium billet.

A small precision anti-backlash leadscrew with a special dry lubricating PTFE type coating and a selection of various leads gives

fine control on the amount of movement

per revolution of the screw or high leads for speed.
