Linear Motion Slides and Actuators
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.

Ball Screw Driven Actuators
Ball screw linear actuators are designed for applications requiring high efficiency, smooth motion, and repeatable positioning. These actuators are well-suited for higher duty cycles and applications where precision and load capacity are critical.
- Ball screw drive for high efficiency and smooth motion
- Rigid linear bearing construction for stable performance
- Motor-ready designs compatible with stepper and servo motors
- Available in multiple stroke lengths to support a wide range of applications
- Suitable for multi-axis gantry configurations
- Repair kits and replacement components available
Lead Screw Driven Actuators
Lead screw driven linear actuators perform the same action as ball screw actuators but at a much lower cost. These actuators force a nut to slide along a threaded shaft. Lead screw actuators are ideal for vertical applications and are designed for light and heavy loads.
Couplings and hardware to mount small NEMA frame stepper and SureServo motors are available, as well as hardware to attach units together to create motion in two or three axes of movement.
- SureMotion actuators up to 36 inches or 910mm
- igus actuators up to 750mm
Belt Driven Actuators
Belt driven linear actuators are designed for high-speed linear motion with long travel lengths. These actuators use dry-running bearing technology to minimize maintenance.
- Lead screw drive with polymer lead nut
- Maintenance-free and lubrication-free operation
- Aluminum rail construction with hard anodized finish
- Adjustable carriage clearance
- Motor bracket options for stepper and servo motors
- Available accessories for multi-axis configurations
Linear Slides (undriven)
SureMotion undriven slides share the same mechanical construction as their driven counterparts and are ideal for applications where external actuation is used. These slides provide rigid guidance and consistent linear support.
- Same mechanical design as corresponding driven actuators
- Rigid linear bearings for stable load support
- Available in multiple stroke lengths
- Compatible with SureMotion mounting brackets and accessories
- Suitable for single- or multi-axis configurations
