A built-in stepper motor moves the load on these slides smoothly and precisely at high speeds, similar to an inkjet printer head. They’re often used in automated assemblies and other jobs requiring accurate, repeatable motion. The motor moves in small, equal steps and holds its position when stationary, so you don’t need encoders, sensors, or other position feedback devices. With a repeatability thinner than a single sheet of paper, the carriage hits the same spot every time. The slippery coating on the drive screw acts as a permanent dry lubricant, so you won’t need to add lubricant.

All slides require a controller and driver (not included).

Anti-backlash slides minimize play, or how much space there is between the carriage and the drive screw. This keeps the carriage steady for precise positioning.

Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load slides can move. If you increase the speed, the dynamic load capacity decreases. Use a load-speed chart to confirm which slides will work for your application. Click on a part number and select "Product Detail" to view the chart.

Travel distance per full step determines the control you have over the slide's positioning. The smaller the measurement, the finer positioning control you have.

Prevent dust from circulating while precisely positioning parts for drilling, fastening, assembly, and measuring. These slides have a built-in vacuum port to remove fine particles that could damage electronics or contaminate batches in clean rooms. Because they have an integrated stepper motor with an included controller, you can adjust the speed, timing, and positioning with no extra software required. At ± 0.02 mm, these slides have a repeatability thinner than a single sheet of paper, so the carriage hits the same spot every time. Unlike air-powered actuators, they’ll hold their position even if power fails. They’re also more energy efficient.

Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load slides can move. If you increase the speed, the dynamic load capacity decreases. Use a load-speed chart to confirm which slides will work for your application. Click on a part number and select "Product Detail" to view the chart.

Maximum speed is how fast the slide will move under no-load conditions. If you increase the load, the slide speed will decrease.

Travel distance per full step determines the control you have over the slide’s positioning. The smaller the measurement, the finer positioning control you have.

Travel distance per turn, also known as screw lead, is how far the carriage moves with one rotation of the ball screw.

Automate precise push and pull movements in clamping, sorting, and ejecting tasks. These actuators come ready to use with a stepper motor and driver built in. At ±0.02 mm, their repeatability is thinner than a strand of hair, so the rod hits the same spot every time. Compared to air-powered systems, they have fewer parts to repair and replace.

These actuators have integrated controls for quick and easy setup, or you can program start and end positions remotely using digital IO or IO-Link. With IO-Link, you can move loads to a specific point along the stroke length, instead of just fully extending and retracting the rod. You can also back up your settings, configure parameters, and update firmware.

Power these actuators with a T-coded, 4-pole M12 connector. To send signals, use an A-coded, 8-pole M12 connector.

Use brackets to attach an actuator to your equipment. Support brackets have a groove for connecting to the side of the actuator body. Flange brackets connect to the bottom of the actuator and can be positioned anywhere along its length. Mounting, trunnion, and pivot brackets connect to the front of the actuator.

Precisely position parts in conditions as cold as -90° F. These slides contain a grease that lubricates even in low temperatures. With an integrated stepper motor, they’re a complete motion control system for automated assemblies. A controller is included, so you can adjust the speed, timing, and positioning with no extra software required. These slides are often used in actions that require fine, repeatable movement, such as drilling, fastening, assembly, and measuring. The carriage extends the same distance every time within ±0.02 mm, a margin thinner than a sheet of paper.

Travel distance per turn, also known as screw lead, is how far the carriage moves with one rotation of the ball screw.

Smaller than any other actuator in our offering, these actuators’ short stroke length makes them good for automating fine, precise adjustments. They’re often used for aligning, pressing, and diverting. They come with an all-in-one motion control system to set the speed, timing, and position with buttons—no programming is required.

Rod-style actuators have threads on the front of the rod.

Slide table-style actuators give you setup flexibility, since you can mount equipment on top or in front. Mount on top to reduce the space you need to move a full stroke length.

Less than one-third the height of standard electric positioning slides, these slides push and pull small parts in electronics manufacturing, robotics, and other automated processes. They have a magnetic linear motor to generate fast and precise motion while taking up only a tiny footprint. With a controller and driver also included, they’re an all-in-one actuation system. Use them where extreme precision is needed—they have a repeatability of ±0.5 microns, which is 1/50,000th of an inch.
