High-precision linear actuators for demanding applications. Customizable miniature plug & play actuators consisting of different types of micromotors and ball screws.


Linear actuators

MPS linear actuators are very compact, offer outstanding precision and can be adapted to the most demanding environments. The ball screws that make up these actuators give them a smooth, stick-slip-free linear motion. The diameter, motor, screw type and other elements of the linear actuator can be configured to your requirements.


Linear actuator for optical applications
Linear actuator for optical applications

Ball screw linear actuator Ø22mm suitable for optical applications

  • Plug and play solution, easy to integrate
  • Combination : motor Ø22mm + nearly 0 backlash (max 0,15°) compliant coupling + preloaded duplex ball bearings + ball screw
  • Optimized low outgassing lubricants (measured according to optical industry standards)
  • Optimized lubricants for  best smoothness (no stick and slip)
  • Compatible with different ball screws and motor types
  • Shielded ball bearings to prevent contamination from the motor side to the application
  • Sealed version (bellow) available to prevent any cross contamination
