MDS-14S

The X-X’ system is a dual-axis linear actuator designed for precise, synchronized motion in industrial automation environments. It features center-to-center spacing between actuator carts for consistent alignment and accurate performance. Optional T-slot sensors, gearboxes, and motor mounting adaptors support flexible configuration across custom applications. Built with durable materials and available with integrated cable track, the X-X’ system offers reliable operation, low maintenance, and suitability for extended travel requirements.

  • X-X' configuration.
  • Connection Hardware and Torque Tube included with the Assembly.
  • User defined Strokes and Spacing.
  • Center Drive Right Angle Reducer offered upon request.
  • Multiple Carts Available upon request.
  • Mounting flexibility in either horizontal, vertical or inverted orientation.

Product Notes

Center-to-center spacing is the distance between each actuator cart’s center line. Each X-X’ system can be supplied with T-slot sensors, gearboxes, or motor mounting adaptors upon request. Some X-X’ systems include cable track; please refer to the Product Specification download document for the standard size. Motor sizing information is provided in the Product Specification download document. For travel requirements exceeding standard values, contact Macron Dynamics for assistance.
