MTB Series Linear Actuators - MTB 042, MTB 055, MTB 080

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides detailed specifications and features of the MTB Series Belt Driven Linear Actuators, available in different sizes (42, 55, and 80 mm). These actuators are designed for high acceleration, speed, and rigidity, offering long travel lengths with low friction, noise, and vibration. They are strong yet lightweight and corrosion-resistant, with multiple accessories and options available.

Key Features:

Anodized aluminum housing and carriage.
Steel reinforced belt capable of handling high loads.
Ball guided rail system.
Adjustable belt tension.
T-slots for mounting and sensor mounting.
Multiple drive configurations.

Technical Specifications:

MTB 42: Max speed of 5 m/s, max stroke length of 2,000 mm, and max load capacities of Fx 460 N, Fy 1,560 N, Fz 1,560 N.
MTB 55: Max speed of 5 m/s, max stroke length of 6,000 mm, and max load capacities of Fx 820 N, Fy 1,850 N, Fz 1,850 N.
MTB 80: Max speed of 5 m/s, max stroke length of 6,000 mm, and max load capacities of Fx 1,650 N, Fy 4,500 N, Fz 4,500 N.

Design Considerations:

Moment arms should be measured from the centerline of the extrusion.
Limit switches are necessary to prevent damage from carriage contact with actuator end blocks.
25 mm of over-travel is recommended, with a minimum of 10 mm for special applications.

Ordering Information: The actuators can be customized with different shaft diameters, shaft types, and guidance types. The body length must include 50 mm over-travel, and for lengths greater than 1,500 mm, consultation with the factory is advised.

Accessories: Available upon request, including mid-section mounting brackets, end cap mounting brackets, motor mounts, coupling housings, and flange plates.

Additional Information: Product information and 2D/3D CAD drawings are available for download at the manufacturer's website. For technical and application information, contact the provided phone number.
