The
MTD042 linear actuator is a flat profile design with bi-directional dual carriage movement. The body is constructed from a 42 mm x 75mm (1.65 in x 2.95 in) anodized aluminum profile; allowing for optimum corrosion resistance. The linear actuator's outer surfaces are precision extruded, providing for flush mounting on both sides and the base to facilitate a qualified, clean and easy installation. T-slots along the full body length allow for numerous mounting orientations and ancillary items, such as sensors, to be mounted directly to its body.
Linear motion is provided by a steel reinforced timing belt. Belts provide for high speed, high force and high acceleration while maintaining accurate positioning. Applications requiring long lengths of travel are optimum for using belt drives over screw drives mainly due to not being subjected to vibrations caused by the screws when reaching ‘critical speed’. Smooth running, low noise and low maintenance are other benefits when using belt drive systems.
Linear guidance is through re-circulating ball bearing runner blocks traveling on hardened and ground profile rails. The profile rail and bearing design provide high rigidity, accuracy and speed with low friction, noise and vibration for the carriage. Integrated with the carriage is a stainless steel strip with magnetic seals; which facilitate its use in environments of high contamination and in clean room requirements, by keeping dirt and grime out of the system while also keeping any particulates from exiting the unit.
The MTD042 linear actuator excels in harsh environments of several different industries. Food and Beverage, packaging, automotive, and medical are all examples where the MTD042 actuator has a proven track record.
