Miniature linear actuators that are grease-free & ideal for tight installation spaces
Don’t have much space to spare for your machine? Our drylin® miniature linear actuators are perfect for fitting into tight installation spaces. They are designed with high-performance polymer bearings, blocks and aluminum profiles, which make for very lightweight systems, and can 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 and instruments, small benchtop CNC routers, cutters and 3D printers, and kiosk/vending machines.
