Double Stack Hybrid Linear Actuators Suitable for Handheld Instruments, Telecom Apps

(Product News, 4 Sep 2008)

Haydon Switch & Instrument Inc. has launched the 28000 series (Size 11) double stack hybrid linear actuators, which are available in three designs—captive, non-captive and external linear versions—and are available in a wide variety of resolutions ranging from 3.175µm per step to 50.8µm per step and delivers thrust of up to 133N. These models can also be micro stepped for even finer resolution.

The linear actuators occupy a minimal 28mm square space and include numerous patented innovations that provide customers high performance, endurance and new linear motion design opportunities in a small package. The use of proprietary manufacturing processes, which incorporate engineering thermoplastics in the rotor drive nut and a stainless steel acme lead screw, assures reliability and performance.

Typical applications include medical equipment, semiconductor handling, handheld instruments, and telecommunications, among others.
