MDC-M6S

The MDC-M6S is a compact linear actuator designed for precision motion in space-constrained industrial automation systems. Featuring a belt-driven configuration with a lightweight aluminum extrusion, it delivers smooth, accurate travel across moderate distances. The actuator supports flexible motor and gearbox mounting options for seamless integration into custom multi-axis assemblies. Built with durable components, the MDC-M6S offers consistent performance, low maintenance, and long-term reliability in light-duty applications.

  • Dual Cart Single Axis Belt Actuator.
  • User defined Strokes.
  • Mounting flexibility in any orientation.
  • Extruded aluminum actuator body with T-slots for ease of mounting.
  • Easy to adjust belt tensioner.
  • One piece machined and stress proof shafted pulley.
  • Zero backlash belt to pulley design.
  • Multiple Carts Available upon Request.
  • Can be Made into a centering actuator.
  • Corrosion resistant components.
  • Washdown Duty or Water- Resistant Options upon request.
