Captive hybrid linear actuator is double stack

Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team Nov 24, 2008

Haydon has introduced its 28000 series (Size 11) double stack captive hybrid linear actuator.

A double stack captive hybrid linear actuator features engineering thermoplastics in the rotor drive nut and a stainless steel Acme lead screw for long life.

The compact frame size is only 1.1in (28mm) square.

The various linear actuator options deliver unmatched capabilities, opening avenues for equipment designers who require performance and endurance in a compact package.

Built for long life (several million cycles) and superior performance, the size 11 linear actuator features engineering thermoplastics in the rotor drive nut and a stainless steel Acme lead screw, which has made the Haydon products so popular, said the company to manufacturingtalk.com.

With this patented design, quiet and maintenance free operation are ensured.

This captive hybrid linear actuator is available in a wide variety of resolutions ranging from 0.000125in (0.003175mm) per step to 0.002in (0.051mm) per step and delivers thrusts of up to 30 lbf (133N) without compromising long life.

The captive linear actuator is designed with Haydon's patented integral anti-rotation mechanism and is especially well suited for applications in which external anti-rotation methods would be difficult or impossible to employ.

Captive linear travel ranges from 0.5in (12.7mm) to 2.5in (63.5mm).

Applications requiring precise positioning and rapid motion are best suited for this motor.

Typical applications include medical equipment, semiconductor handling, valve control, X-Y tables, hand held instruments, telecommunications, and many more.

In addition to standard configurations, Haydon can custom design this motor to meet specific applications.
