The M-238 is a high-load, high-precision actuator providing linear motion up to 50 mm, a load capacity to 400 N and high velocity to 30 mm/s. It consists of a low-friction, heavy-duty ballscrew, driven by a closed-loop, ActiveDrive™ DC-Motor with gearbox. The M-238
is therefore well suited for high duty-cycle operation in industrial environments. An optional linear encoder provides exceptional accuracy and repeatability.

Direct Metrology Linear Encoder to Compensate Mechanical Play
The M-238.5PL model is equipped with a non-contact, optical, linear encoder (direct metrology) with an output resolution of 0.1 µm. Because the encoder measures the actual position of the non-rotating actuator tip, drive-train errors like backlash and elastic deformations are eliminated. A lower-cost version with a rotary encoder is available as model number M-238.5PG.
