Grease-free miniature linear actuators for tight installation spaces

Don’t have much space to spare for your machine? Our drylin® miniature linear actuators are perfect for tight installation spaces. They are designed with high-performance polymer bearings, blocks and aluminum profiles, which make for very lightweight systems. They can also be outfitted with stepper, dc or ec motors. You can utilize multiple lead screw pitches, including our dryspin® screws and nuts, which offer a longer lifetime, more efficiency, and quieter operation compared to many other lead screw systems. Our SLN and SLT systems are also available in configurations that include anti-backlash and radial clearance adjustment for better accuracy. Ideal applications for drylin® miniature linear actuators include lab machinery, small benchtop CNC routers, 3D printerskiosk and vending machines, and aerospace applications.

Miniature Linear Actuators Applications


Lead screw stepper motors for miniature linear actuators

For a motorized low-profile linear lead screw drive, igus sells powerful lead screw stepper motors. The motors are offered in three sizes: NEMA11, NEMA17, and NEMA23. Pairing these motors with a dryspin lead screw guarantees precise centering and a long service life for our miniature linear actuators.
 
  • 3 installation sizes with or without stand
  • Available ready to connect
  • With or without encoder
