MRA-RTU-1i

The MRA-RTU-1i is a precision linear actuator engineered for horizontal motion control in industrial robotic systems. Built on a single-axis platform, it features an integrated rack-and-pinion drive mechanism for consistent speed and torque across extended travel distances. Its aluminum extrusion base and steel carriage construction provide structural rigidity, while modular mounting options support various motor and gearbox configurations. Designed for high-cycle applications, the MRA-RTU-1i ensures dependable operation with minimal maintenance requirements.

  • Reliable 7th axis motion for articulated robots.
  • Specific Designed RTU for Inverted Applications.
  • Cart designed for the exact make and model of robot used.
  • 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.
  • Corrosion resistant components.
  • Washdown Duty or Water- Resistant Options upon request.
  • Integrated cable management.
  • Suggested for use with the following Robots:
    • Yaskawa HC10, GP7, and GP8
    • Fanuc LR mate and CR series
    • Kuka KR3, R Agilus series
    • Universal Robot family
