Uhing®-Linear drive nut (linear actuator)

Characterstics:

• Backlash-free,
• low noise emission,
• high efficiency due to rolling on the shaft,
• travel and guide units,
• can be freely moved on the shaft by using a release lever,
• compact design,
• installation does not require much space,
• overload protection by slipping, side thrust can be multiplied by coupling several linear drive nuts,
• different pitch settings available,
• pitch can be set for either direction on the shaft,
• good sealing properties against dust, dirt, humidity, etc.

Wherever linear movements are required, the Uhing®-linear drive nuts are a state-of-the-art alternative to hydraulic and pneumatic actuators, chain feeding systems and lead screws.
