Double Stack Captive Hybrid Linear Actuator Designed for Telecoms, Hand Held Instruments Applications

(Product News, 29 Sep 2008)

Haydon Switch & Instrument Inc. has launched the 35000 series (Size 14) double stack captive hybrid linear actuator, which is designed with an internal anti-rotation mechanism, and is suited to applications in which external anti-rotation methods would be difficult or impossible to employ.

These hybrid linear actuators are available in a wide variety of resolutions ranging from .000625in (0.0158mm) per step to .005in (0.127mm) per step and delivers thrusts of up to 222N. They can also be microstepped for even finer resolutions. The size 14 double stack hybrid linear actuator features engineering thermoplastics in the rotor drive nut and a stainless steel Acme lead screw. With this patented design, quiet and maintenance free operation is ensured as well as enhanced performance and long life of several million cycles.

Typical applications include medical equipment, semiconductor handling, valve control, X-Y tables, hand held instruments, telecommunications, or wherever precise linear or rapid motion is required.
