Linear Motion Slides and Actuators
Use our configuration tool to configure and order.
Linear motion actuators and undriven slides support controlled single- and multi-axis movement. Ball screw, lead screw, and belt-driven designs offer options for speed, load, precision, and available space, with accessories to build positioning systems.

Linear motion slides and actuators are used to perform movements along a straight line. To do this, actuators convert the rotary motion of a motor into a linear displacement along an axis. This conversion is accomplished using ball screws, lead screws, or belts.
To achieve more than one axis of motion, several linear motion slides and actuators can be used together in a gantry system to achieve X-Y and X-Y-Z configurations.
