Heavy duty linear drive unit
max. 1 m/s (39 inch/s), max. 1 000 mm (39 ") | MTF Series PBC Linear

The MTF linear actuator is a design where the motor mounts to the carriage and the body traverses along dual external profile rails. The body is constructed from a 55 mm x 55 mm (2.17 in x 2.17 in) anodized aluminum profile; allowing for corrosion resistance in severe environments. The linear actuators outer surfaces are precision extruded, providing for flush mounting on both sides and the base to facilitate a qualified, clean and easy installation. T-slots along the full body length on both sides allow for the unit to be mounted in numerous orientations with ease and for ancillary items, such as sensors, to be mounted directly to its body.

Linear motion is provided by a steel reinforced timing belt. Belts provide for high speed, high force and high acceleration while maintaining accurate positioning. Applications requiring long lengths of travel are optimum when using belt drives over screw drives mainly due to not being subjected to vibrations caused by the screws when reaching 'critical speed'. Smooth running, low noise and low maintenance are other benefits when using belt drive systems.
