Extra Large Gantry NEMA23 Rear Mount Compact C-Beam Screw Drive Actuator (Black, 125mm Travel)

Extra Large Gantry NEMA23 Rear Mount Compact C-Beam Screw Drive Actuator (Black, 125mm Travel) is a screw-driven linear actuator designed for use with a NEMA23 stepper motor. It converts rotary motion into linear movement, providing a practical solution for applications that require finer positioning and controlled movement. The C-Beam extrusion provides a self-contained design with three sides available for easy integration into systems and machines. Built using our standard extrusion, it offers a cost-effective solution for linear motion.

This compact version uses radial bearings only, limiting its maximum length compared with the standard version. The stepper motor is reversed by 180 degrees to reduce the overall length and help counterbalance loads on the gantry plate.

Key Features

• Screw Drive: Converts motor rotation into linear movement through a screw and nut mechanism.
• Motor Compatibility: Designed for use with a NEMA23 stepper motor.
• Higher Resolution: Screw-driven motion typically provides finer movement increments than belt-driven motion using an equivalent motor and control setup.
• Resistance to Deflection: The lead screw drive helps resist displacement along the travel axis under load.
• Linear Positioning: Provides controlled movement along a single axis when paired with a suitable motor and control system.
• Modular Construction: Uses parts from our aluminium extrusion system for easy integration into a complete system or machine.
• C-Beam Construction: Provides a self-contained design with three sides available for mounting and integration into a complete system or machine.
• Rear-Mounted Motor: The stepper motor is reversed by 180 degrees to reduce the overall length and help counterbalance loads on the gantry plate.

Pros and Cons

Choose a Rear Mount Compact C-Beam Screw Drive Actuator if you want to move a high load with finer positioning and greater precision, with easy integration into a system or machine.

Application

Linear actuators can be used in positioning systems for sensors and inspection cameras, small automation projects such as parts feeders and sorting mechanisms, and camera sliders for video and time-lapse photography. They can also be combined to create 2-axis or 3-axis machines for pen plotting, laser cutting, CNC machining or 3D printing, with actuator selection depending on the load and precision required. They are suitable for researchers, developers, businesses and personal use. Their cost-effectiveness and modular construction make them easy to integrate into a wide range of applications.
