Festo Micro Linear Actuator, 150mm, 24V dc, 20kg, 460mm/s

This miniature electric actuator from Festo's EPCO series will move loads of up to 40kg over maximum distances of 150mm. It's a reliable alternative to traditional pneumatic actuators and uses stepper motor technology to move a piston rod back and forth with a high degree of accuracy. It's fitted with two connectors, one for operating motor control and the other for encoder signals, which are compatible with the Festo CMMO-ST controller (125-9895) for quick and easy web setup.

• Recirculating ball spindle lowers the friction between the nut and screw to increase efficiency
• IP40 (ingress protection) rated, for protection against tools and wires over 1mm in diameter

• Mechanised greenhouse windows
• Solar panels
• Factory automation

Electric actuators are a great choice where precise control and positioning are key considerations, or where lower operating costs are required. They're an ideal choice for use at moderate scale in projects where their greater accuracy will provide a benefit compared with pneumatic actuators.
