SINGLE AXIS ACTUATORS

A single-axis linear actuator provides linear motion in a single direction or axis. That is, the single axis linear actuator is designed to move in a straight line in a specific direction.

Applications

Single-axis linear actuators are used in a wide variety of industries due to their versatility and ability to provide precise linear motion. Here are a few of them:

Industrial automation: used in the automation of industrial processes, such as assembly lines, material handling systems, packaging machinery and precise positioning systems.
Robotics: essential in the construction of industrial robots and collaborative robotics. Used to control the movements of robotic arms, allowing robots to perform different tasks.
Food industry: used in food transport systems and product handling.

MISUMI inCAD Library

Example No.000099

This application corresponds to an inspection station, where the
actuator carries the component to be inspected to the area where
the lamp and camera are located and then returns to the initial
position.

Features

Main advantages of a single-axis linear actuator:

Precise linear motion: Designed to provide controlled linear motion. This makes them ideal for applications where precise and repeatable positioning is required.
High load capacity: MISUMI single-axis linear actuators can withstand heavy loads and offer high load capacity; this makes them suitable for applications that require lifting, moving or pushing heavy objects.

Our actuator components are already integrated for optimal implementation within the system and it is worth mentioning that depending on the type of actuator series, can be positioned vertically, horizontally or inverted, which allows for greater design flexibility.

Single-axis linear actuators consist of a housing, the external part of the actuator, which provides support and protection for the internal components. Depending on the type of actuator, it will be composed of a ball screw or a belt, both with the function of transmitting the motion to the motor.
