The timing belt drive of the LCB compact linear actuator is integrated, which makes the actuator an inexpensive alternative to conventional linear actuators that are belt-driven. The sliding guidance system is external and motion is controlled via stepper motor technology or modern servo technology, thus allowing for any velocity or profile or position.
In addition to the low initial cost, operating and installation costs are low as well. The LCB generates low noise at any speed and in certain applications, it is capable of competing with more expensive linear motor drives. Additional advantages include a dry, clean slide guidance system that requires no lubrication, minimum set-up time and a high amount of productivity
