Pittsburgh, Pa .-New Linear Motor Actuator (LMA) Series eliminates ballscrews and drive belts to deliver high-speed, acceleration, and accuracy benefits of direct-drive technology. These modular integrated stages help users ease the task of selecting multiple matched components, such as brushless servo motors, encoders, bearings, and other parts. LMA Series actuators provide travel distance up to 1 m (3.28 ft), with velocity and acceleration up to 3 m/sec and 3 g, respectively, at no load. Force output ranges from 32 to 276 N (7.2-62 lbf). Counterbalance is available for vertical applications. Repeatability of www.aerotech.com . Aerotech Inc.
