The EMA linear actuator range from Power Jacks has been developed to provide linear motion for low- to medium-duty applications with loads up to 10kN. These loads can be moved at speeds up to 5500mm/min as standard with higher speeds available on request. The two main segments of the actuator are the actuation unit and the drive unit. The drive unit is based on a precision Spiroid gear set, which is a right angled/offset drive, consisting of a gear and pinion. The actuation unit is based on a lead screw assembly, which converts the rotary motion into linear movement.
