Thomson's MLA series combine a hybrid stepper motor and a precision lead screw, resulting in a simple and cost-effective method of achieving precise linear motion. Motorised Leadscrew Actuators are offered in three basic configurations: rotating screw (MLS) rotating nut (MLN) actuator (MLA) The open architecture rotating screw and rotating nut motorised lead screws suit applications where external guidance is present or a high level of design flexibility is required, while the closed assembly of the motorised lead screw actuator is ideal to further simplify the design process and remove requirements for external guidance.
