WHY MACRON ACTUATORS?

MACRON Modular Belt Driven Linear Actuators and Linear Drives are flexible positioning systems consisting of a high speed belt drive and self-supporting, wear resistant aluminum profiles providing precise linear motion in both horizontal and vertical operation.

Superior Performance

MACRON Linear Actuators and Linear Drives are designed for long service life and have been tested at full capacity for thousands of cycles to ensure trouble free operation. The linear actuator housings are cast from rugged yet lightweight aluminum. The belt drive assembly connects the motor to the actuator with a highly durable steel reinforced polyurethane composite timing belt. Both lightweight and flexible, the belt has an extremely high tensile strength and trapezoidal-shaped teeth. The synchronous, pre-tensioned toothed timing belt to runs two geared pulleys mounted at each end of the actuator profile. One pulley acts as the driving gear, and the other as the driven gear. A motor coupled to the drive pulley converts rotary torque to tangential force. The belt is available in several widths up to 50mm. This belt drive design offers superior performance over the typical ball screw, lead screw, or acme screw linear actuator including superior rigidity, high moment loads and faster speeds. Travel is limited in length only by the actuator profile itself. When selecting an actuator, important specifications to consider include length of travel, rated load, positional accuracy and maximum rated speed. MACRON Linear Actuators feature travel up to 500 ft., loads to 10,000 lbs., accuracy to +/- 0.013 and speeds of up to 600 inches per second.

Components or Complete Systems

MACRON Linear Actuators are available as a single axis solution, assembled for a multitude of gantry X-Y and X-Y-Z positioning duties or as part of a complete mechanical motion system. Many optional features are offered including dual independent belt systems, 50mm wide belt, rotated cart, extended cart, wrap around cart, extra cart, sensors, single/double bearing blocks and stainless steel components. There are several motor mounting options for MACRON Linear Actuators. Typical mounting consists of a Motor Mount (28 or 40 mm) and a motor adapter NEMA 23, 34 or 42.

Wide Range of Applications

MACRON Linear Actuators are ideal for a wide range of industrial automation applications. There are 15 basic models to choose from. Typical applications include Pick & Place Systems; Cartesian Robotics; Video Production & Automation Systems; Indexing, Sorting & Inspection Systems; Camera Mounts & Scanners; Robotics; Packaging Handlers & Dispensing Systems; Product Lifts, Dumbwaiters & Elevators; Theatrical Automation; Waterjet & Laser Cutting Gantries; and General Automation.
