Slim linear actuators

Xeryon's XLA is a compact, very slim linear actuator designed for easy integration in applications where high precision and speed is required but space is limited.

The product's slim design (less than 6 mm wide for our smallest model) also allows for 'stacking' multiple actuators in a line or array, commonly seen in high-precision applications like semiconductor pick & place and liquid dispensing systems.

Other common applications include medical devices and precision instrumentation.

Our XLA micro actuators are developed with integrability in mind. In addition to its thin, lightweight design, these slim linear actuators have several other strengths that make them ideally suited for highly precise applications where space is limited.

Other advantages:

Our thin linear actuators offer several other advantages that make them highly suitable for tight spaces and portable applications:

• Self-locking: The XLA linear actuator does not require any power while holding its position.
• This leads to a significant decrease in energy consumption, as well as heat dissipation, making them ideal for stacked designs.
• Noiseless operation: Due to our patented ultrasonic motor, these actuators operate without making any noise.
• Power consumption of less than 5 Watts and a safe operating voltage (<48V) further enhance their applicability.
• No loss of accuracy over time (no wear-induced play).
• Self-cleaning design.
