MXB-U Actuators
MXB-U belt driven actuators are designed for applications where loads are externally guided and supported.
New Capabilities: Stroke Lengths 400 inches +
The MXB-U belt driven actuator is a compact linear belt solution for use in applications where higher speeds are desired but loads are supported by existing guides & supports.
- High speed and acceleration capabilities up to 1200 in/sec2 (30.5 mm/sec2)
- 6 body sizes accommodate a wide range of forces and loads
- Polyurethane belt with steel members resists stretching
- Excellent repeatability, high duty cycle performance
- Choose MXB belt drive for longer strokes than screw drive actuators
