Rodless Actuators

Parker’s Electromechanical Automation Division (Irwin, PA) announced the Light Capacity Rodless (LCR) actuator series that offers the ability to purchase a complete engineered motion solution with an optional onboard stepper drive. The actuators offer users two profile sizes; belt- or screw-drive options; stepper or servo motors; flush mount, home and limit sensors; and various other standard configurable options.

The LCR options include two lead screw-drive and two belt-drive options, 22 or 30 mm profile widths, travel lengths up to 1 m, and custom motor flange designs to mount any motor.
