Movac - a range of linear ball-screw and belt driven actuators.

Movacs® are a range of modular cylinders that combine the functions of guidance and positioning in one neat package. Inside the anodised aluminium cylinder there is either a belt or screw drive which is connected to a carriage to provide a controllable thrust.

A compatible range of accessories allows multi-axis systems to be built quickly and economically.

Why use a Movac® ?

The Movac® contains all the mechanical elements of a guidance and positioning system. Instead of designing and sourcing a drive, bearings, protection and devising a means of transferring the power from the drive to the load everything is available in one tried and tested package.

A complementary range of accessories allows system designers to obtain all components from a single source.

Where are Movacs® used ?

Although Movacs® are used in wide variety of applications across a broad range of industries their use is generally characterised by one of the following.

Where a fast, controllable feed is required
Drive and guidance modules for feed mechanisms
Transfer devices and mechanisms
Drive units for X-Y tables

Where exact positioning and repeatability are needed
Positioning stops on presses
Machine tool drives
Manipulators

Where two or three axes of movement is required
Guillotines
Gluing machines
Welding Rigs
Profile and contouring machines
Pick and place machines
