MRA-RTU-3

The MRA-RTU-3 is a heavy-duty linear actuator designed for long-axis motion in industrial robotic and automation applications. Utilizing a rack-and-pinion drive with dual guide rails, it delivers stable, repeatable performance across extended travel distances. Its rugged steel and aluminum construction supports high payload capacities, while optional mounting configurations allow for seamless motor integration. Built for continuous operation, the MRA-RTU-3 offers consistent reliability in high-load, high-cycle environments.

  • Reliable 7th axis motion for articulated robots.
  • HD Steel Cart designed for the exact make and model of robot used.
  • User defined Strokes.
  • Dual HD Belt Design.
  • Floor Mount Only.
  • 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 PL190
    • Fanuc M410 series
    • Kuka KR40

Product Notes

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