This electric linear rod actuator from Festo is designed to convert rotary motion into linear motion. As its piston rod moves in a straight line, it's a good choice for use in applications where precise movement is needed. For improved efficiency, you can use it with a proximity sensor to help guide its movement. A plain-bearing guide protects the unit against excess torque to prevent damage. The piston rod is made from a high-alloy steel material that's durable and corrosion-resistant, so you can be sure of long-lasting performance.

• Can be assembled in any position for flexible installation
• High repetition accuracy of ±0.01mm for precise repeated movements
• IP40 (ingress protection) rating for protection against objects larger than 1mm in size
• Wide operating temperature range of 0°C to +60°C for use in demanding environments

• Medical equipment
• Laboratories
• Furniture production
• Printing presses

For versatility, this unit uses a combination of a stepper motor and a servomotor. The stepper motor provides precise rotational movement at a low speed, while the servomotor produces rotational movement at high speeds.
