Bell-Everman: Sealed linear actuators for lighter loads

Bell-Everman is now offering a compact model of its SLS sealed linear stage that keeps contamination such as manufacturing debris, particulate or liquid contaminants outside of the stage housing.

The SLS Light model, which measures 80 x 120-mm, has maximum dynamic payloads of 15 kg for the direct drive linear motor version and 30 kg for the ball screw version. Both sizes deliver a proprietary linear lip seal design that integrates with the stage’s anodized aluminum housing. The seal is made from a ruggedized polyurethane elastomer and resists chemicals, temperature extremes and mechanical wear. The seal can be quickly replaced without disassembling the stage or removing payload.
