Design Features


The high force, high load, linear motor actuator is used for aerospace testing, automated manufacturing, and motion simulation applications. The granite structure, high-force motors, and precise recirculating bearings give exceptional motion profile capability with up to a 150 kg load capacity.

  1. Available with Aerotech controllers.

  2. Speed and acceleration based on 5 kg load.

  3. 10 ms sample rate.

  4. Maximum load based on bearing capability. Maximum application load may be limited by acceleration requirements.

  5. Specifications are for single-axis systems measured 25 mm above the tabletop. Performance of multi-axis systems is payload and work-point dependent. Consult factory for multi-axis or non-standard applications.
