New Motor Controllers and Drives Products

Linear Positioning Drives offer adjustable pitch/side thrust.

Model RS linear drives feature adjustable axial thrust as well as pitch settings of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, or 0.5 times shaft diameter. Side thrust and linear pitch will not vary when other is adjusted, simplifying process of finding settings that will enhance smooth linear movement and overall optimum drive function. Units achieve linear speeds of up to 5 fps, over distances of up to 13 ft, with...
