Hybrid Linear Actuators, Non-Captive

Haydon Switch & Instrument, Inc has introduced the 28000 series (Size 11) double stack non captive hybrid linear actuator, the latest addition to its continuously growing hybrid motor line. Equipment designers and engineers now have an even more compact option for their linear motion applications. The new range includes numerous patent pending innovations that provide customers high performance and endurance in a small package. In the double stack non-captive linear actuator design, the lead screw runs axially through the centre of the motor and must be restrained from rotating for proper operation. This is normally accomplished by attaching the screw to a non-rotating member of the mechanical assembly. As the internal threaded rotor rotates the lead screw will move axially but will not rotate. This design is especially suited for long linear travel requirements and applications where the lead screw is secured at both ends and the motor translates along the lead screw. When incorporating the latter approach
