In addition to the many linear mechanisms in
Table 101
, a few fully-integrated
linear mechanisms, listed in
, are also included.

Description
Page
These electric cylinders provide flexible, digital servo control of a rod actuator
(linear control of force/clamping or position). They provide an
electromechanical system for applying digital servo control with a familiar
fluid power format. The cylinders are integrated into machines with the same
fluid power application principals, mounting methods (trunnion mounts, rear
clevis attachment kits, and front flanges, for example.) and rod-end
attachments for connected loads (rod eye and rod clevis, for example).
A linear stage is used to restrict the load to a single axis of motion. It contains
all the elements required to produce linear motion: base and carriage; drive
(linear motor or lead screw); linear bearings; and position feedback.
A linear thruster is used to provide a completely integrated linear motor-driven
system.
