MDC-R20

The MDC-R20 is a heavy-duty linear actuator designed for high-precision motion in industrial automation environments. Featuring a reinforced belt drive system and a robust aluminum extrusion, it delivers smooth and accurate linear travel over long distances. Its modular design supports a variety of motor and gearbox mounting options, allowing for seamless integration into multi-axis assemblies. Engineered with durable materials, the MDC-R20 offers reliable performance, minimal maintenance, and long-term durability in demanding 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.

Product Notes

Each actuator can be supplied with T-slot sensors, gearboxes, or motor mounting adaptors upon request. For travel requirements over standard values, contact Macron Dynamics for assistance.
