Single Axis Linear Actuator

What is Single Axis Linear Actuator? 

Single Axis Linear Actuator is a Precision Single-Drive Motion Units for Automation

Single axis linear actuators are standalone electromechanical motion units for industrial automation. They deliver pure uniaxial linear movement through integrated transmission structures. Moreover, they serve as basic motion carriers for automated processing and handling equipment.

Unlike multi-dimensional motion platforms, they focus on single-straight travel. Thus, they simplify mechanical design for standard linear automation workflows.

Integrated Mechanical Structure

First, a compact aluminum frame provides rigid fixed support. Second, a precision ball screw forms the core transmission unit. Third, dual linear guide rails stabilize uniaxial moving tracks.

In addition, a sliding carriage carries tooling and workpieces. Furthermore, a precision coupling connects drive motors tightly. Lastly, built-in stoppers protect uniaxial travel boundaries.

TallMan's Linear modules type TM135 with body with by 135mm have 5 series.

Respectively,TM135 can be classified into screw driven semi closed, screw driven fully closed, and belt driven semi closed, belt driven fully closed. These Linear modules perform strokes from 0 mm up to 3500 mm, and payload from 6kg up to 110kgs. TM Single Axis Linear Actuator can run with world famous band motors by 50W,100W,200W/400W /750W/1000W or 42, 57,86 stepper motors or NMEA17, NMEA23, NMEA34 stepping motors in quality aluminum frame system to guarantee precise and speed requirement of various precision and common application projects. You can choose linear modules with brake or without brake.

It could applied in laser marking, connection insert and pull test, components can be stitched by a condition of a certain thrust, parts from automobile undergo the second picking and positing.

In this page, we introduce basic specification of TM135 series as follows:

Core Functions & Technical Strengths

Frequently Asked Questions 

Q1: What defines a single axis linear actuator in automation systems?

A single axis linear actuator is a dedicated uniaxial motion unit. It integrates transmission, guidance and bearing parts to only produce straight linear motion. It acts as the foundational motion component for building simple and composite automation motion systems.

Q2: What transmission types do single axis linear actuators adopt?

They mainly adopt ball screw drive and belt drive structures. Screw drive types focus on precise positioning, while belt drive types prioritize fast long-stroke movement to meet different industrial motion demands.

Q3: What working environments suit single axis linear actuators?

They adapt conventional indoor factory environments. They work stably in assembly, marking, testing and sorting scenes with standard temperature and clean air conditions.

Q4: Can single axis linear actuators form multi-axis motion systems?

Yes. Users can combine multiple single axis units. Stacked horizontal and vertical actuators can form XYZ three-axis platforms for complex spatial positioning and processing tasks.

Q5: How to preserve single axis linear actuator working precision?

Keep internal screw and guide rail parts lubricated. Clean surface dust regularly and check bolt fastening status to avoid motion jitter and positioning deviation during long-cycle operation.
