MXB-S Actuators
The MXB-S utilizes solid linear guides for medium size load support, and cost reduction.
The MXB is Tolomatic’s most advanced belt driven linear actuator series, with 3 different carrier guide options: Unguided (U), Solid Bearing (S), and Profiled Rail (P). The Solid Bearing carrier is robustly designed with adjustable solid Delrin bearings. These bearings provide medium load support and are less susceptible to particulate in the environment like exposed ball bearing systems do.

STRAIGHTNESS, FLATNESS 0.01702 L mm 0.00067 L in
Actuator mounted on a flat surface and fully restrained (see Mounting Plate Requirements, MXB catalog 8500-4000 page mxb_11)
L = Maximum distance between supports
The listed values relating to straightness/flatness are intended for reference purposes only, and not as an engineering standard of absolute tolerance for a given actuator. Appropriate installation is the single most important factor in reducing variation, so good engineering practices such as measurement, mapping, etc. must be employed in applications with stringent straightness/flatness requirements.
