Linear motion actuator is an important component for many automation systems, tasked with turning the rotary movement into a straight movement with a very high level of accuracy. This device is usually found in modern factories, especially for applications such as pick and place, CNC machines (including laser and routers), as well as the process of gluing on the production line that requires a very precise position.

Not only for one direction, linear actuators are able to regulate movement in two or even three axes at once, according to the needs of your application. Whether you want to increase efficiency in the field of electronic, automotive, and industrial robotics, linear actuator is a mainstay solution to keep every part of moving in a controlled and targeted manner.

When to use every type of Linear Motion Slide Technology?

Choosing the right linear motion slide technology is very dependent on the needs of your application - are you looking for speed, precision, load capacity, or ease of installation. Each type offers a unique advantage and its own use scenario.

Let's describe some of the general categories and their use:

·Ball screw slides:

Suitable for applications that require high accuracy and fine movements, such as CNC machines, precision measurement tools, or moderate to high -speed industrial automation. Ball Screw Slide is also ideal for carrying heavy loads with a minimum shift at the final position.

Linear Guide Rails:

The main choice for extra stability and straight movement with very low friction. Widely used on laboratory equipment, 3D printers, and pick-and-plate systems in the production line, where time and repetition of positions are very important.
