Linear actuator systems, such as belt actuators or ball screw drives, can be combined to form X-Y tables, gantries, or cartesian robots. There are different ways to drive one or more of these actuators. How do you decide how to drive and connect these linear actuators?
Use the form to request the guide, Mechanical Drive Solutions for Linear Systems to learn about the different ways to drive and connect one or more linear actuators.
GAM Linear Mount Products
Everything Between the Motor and the Actuator
Connecting a motor or gear reducer to a linear product sounds pretty straightforward; however, with all of the design and machining involved, it can be a challenging and time-consuming task. GAM's Linear Actuator Mount Products were developed to solve those issues so you can focus time on other parts of your machine.
EPL-H & EPR-H
Inline planetary and right angle planetaryservo gearboxes with hollow output for compact, direct connection to linear products, no couplings required
Design to mount a motor parallel to a ball screw, reducing the overall length of the system. With 4 sizes and customized mounting plate, mount almost any servo motor to any linear ball screw actuator
Connect linear actuators with a common drive with drive shaft (also know as line shaft) couplings that can span lengths up to 20-ft without additional intermediate bearings
