Schneeberger Inc.'s new SLA Actuator offers high-performance linear positioning and global service in a highly customizable super-compact design.

SLA actuators use recirculating ball linear guides that ensure smooth motion and high load capacity. They feature a lightweight precision aluminum base, offer easy assembly, and are stackable without additional brackets.

The SLA actuator is highly customizable to meet the demands of virtually any precision linear motion control application. The actuator is offered in both a lead screw design as well as a ball screw version for higher speeds and duty cycles. Features include a wide base for maximum stiffness, custom lengths up to 1m, an anti-backlash leadscrew nut, and built-in proximity or photoelectric sensors. Additional options include different motor flanges, brake options, a linear encoder option, a cover option for contamination protection, and servo, stepper, and smart motor control options. SLA actuators are available for clean environment use.
