MSA-14Z Actuator

The MSA-14Z is a vertical lift actuator designed for controlled Z-axis motion in industrial automation environments. Featuring a belt-driven configuration with a rigid aluminum extrusion, it delivers smooth and accurate vertical travel under load. The actuator supports multiple motor and gearbox mounting options for integration into custom multi-axis systems. Built with robust aluminum and steel components, the MSA-14Z provides reliable performance, long-term durability, and minimal maintenance in high-duty applications.

  • Omega Drive Belt Actuator.
  • Excellent alternative to rack and pinion technology.
  • 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.
