Linear actuators are found throughout industry but until now have been limited to “fixed” applications. Danaher Motion’s team of design engineers were briefed to create a linear actuator which offered great flexibility. The result is the MovoZ Z2 – a new telescopic linear actuator unit that can be installed vertically, horizontally and upside down as a lifting column. This new space-saving actuator offers a number of features that enable it to deliver precise, smooth linear actuation making it suitable for a wide variety of automation and handling applications.
