News Release . Big Performance with a Mini-Actuator: the MLA Series Providing linear motion within a confined space • Mounting components allow for application versatility • Provides fast, accurate & repeatable linear motion • Lightweight, compact design • T-slots for easy mounting Rockford, IL – October 1, 2008 PBC Linear has just introduced its latest product: the MLA series mini-actuator. Dubbed the Life-science actuator because of its lightweight, compact design, this product is perfectly suited for the medical and bio-tech industry. Ranging from 6’’—28’’ in length and 1.5’’ wide, The MLA series actuator solves the problem of finding a linear motion system to transport delicate material within a confined space. In the medical industry, handling unspoiled samples is extremely critical, and dealing with a small work space is very common. When combined with its optional array of mounting components, the MLA series actuator can accurately and precisely move a wide variety of material. Its lightweight design also provides for easy installation and makes the MLA series actuator a relatively low cost linear motion solution. The MLA series actuator also comes with optional mounting components, step motors, and a profile rail for more precise movement and application versatility. This makes the MLA series actuator well suited for several different tasks within the medical field and has recently been implemented in both data analyzing and tool handling designs.
