The L-239 compact linear actuator is the newest addition to the suite of motion control solutions available from precision positioning systems industry leader PI (Physik Instrumente), a German company whose US headquarters are located in Massachusetts.
Equipped with precision ground ball screws for higher speed and a longer service life, the L-239 high force actuator has a positioning range of 52mm (2”), pushing force of 300N (66lbs) and 50mm/sec (2”/sec) maximum velocity. The nonrotating tip is designed to enable uniform motion in order to prevent wobble, torque and wear at the point of contact.
Noncontact limit switches aim to protect the mechanics, while a direction-sensing reference point switch is designed to speed up the homing procedure and support automation applications.
