The MDrive17 Linear Actuators are available in two (2) shaft styles: non-captive and external. With non-captive shafts, a screw extends through the MDrive and moves axially as the motor rotates. With external shafts, a rotating screw integral to the MDrive motor moves a screw-mounted nut axially, with a choice of general purpose or anti-backlash nuts.
Precision rolled screws for MDrive17 Linear Actuators deliver maximum life and quiet operation, and come with a choice of 4 screw leads to meet a wide range of application demands. Screws are manufactured from premium grade stainless steel, are corrosion resistant and non-magnetic, and available with an optional Teflon coating.
MDrive Linear Actuators are available with integrated electronics in three (3) versions: Microstepping with step and direction input, Motion Control with intelligent programmable controller, and Speed Control with velocity controller. For a comprehensive versions comparison, please visit imshome.com/mdriveplus_versions.html
All MDrive17 Linear Actuators are capable of full (256 x 200) microstepping with a +12 to +48 VDC integrated driver, and an operating range of -40° to +85°C for long life, trouble free service in demanding environments. Product options include encoders, interface cables and all-inclusive QuickStart Kits to speed design verification and time-to-market.
Max Wietharn, IMS VP of Sales and Marketing, states: "MDrive Linear Actuators are ideal compact solutions for reducing machine cost, size and time-to-market in a wide range of linear motion applications without compromising functionality."
