Festo Micro Linear Actuator, 800mm, 24V dc, 200N, 250mm/s

For automated movement that feels like second nature, go for this electric linear actuator from Festo. It makes things simple, as an actuator, motor and servo drive are all packed into one easy-to-use unit. Using a spindle axis and powerful ball screw, it achieves repeated back-and-forth or press-and-clamp motions. The unit's maximum load of 200N and lifting force of 600N mean it's not short on strength. You can manually set parameters such as distance, force and speed by programming the buttons on the drive, meaning there's no need for any additional software.

• Powerful ball screw provides precise and rapid motion
• Recirculating ball bearing guide keeps the slide on track
• Integrated end-position feedback gives a very accurate distance setting

• Assembly plants
• Industrial equipment
• Robotics systems
• Food and drink industry

Plug an 8-pin connector into the M12 socket marked 'logic' and use the inbuilt digital I/O and IO-Link for communication with control or sensor devices.

You can set the component to any speed up to a high maximum of 250mm/s unloaded, to suit your application's needs.
