Linear actuators which eliminate belt-drive gear boxes

Pacific bearing has launched a range of linear actuators which eliminate the need for belt-drive gear boxes.
The PL series’ machined profile means it can be flush mounted on both sides as well as the base.
According to the manufacturer, because belt-drive gear boxes are not required, the overall running costs of the system have been reduced.
The company says the unit also has a magnetic seal which allows it to function in food and beverage, medical and pharmaceutical applications.
The developer claims the device has pre-loaded ball bearing rollers and Integral V hardened-steel raceways which reduce vibrations and noise.
