Miniature Linear Actuators

T-LA Series Miniature Linear Actuators

• 13, 28 and 60mm travel
• Up to 4mm/s speed and up to 15N thrust
• Built-in controller; daisy chains with other T-series products
• Designed to replace standard micrometer heads on manual translation stages. (See note #2 below)

We recently released the T-NA Linear Actuator, a powerful and robust unit, which resolves the following limitations of the T-LA:

1. The T-LA lead screws may experience some side-to-side wobble while extending and retracting. This is eliminated when the actuator is pushing against a constrained surface, for example, in a translation stage.
2. You cannot mount anything to the moving tip of the T-LA actuator. It is designed to push only.
3. The T-LA actuator is designed to push a force of 15N or less. Some stages contain springs with stronger forces than this. We advise checking the spring force of your stage before choosing which actuator to drive it.
4. The T-LA is more delicate and has a limited lifetime compared to the T-NA08. View the T-LA Specs Page for a lifetime vs thrust comparison.

If any of these issues are of concern to you, consider purchasing a T-NA08 Series Actuator instead.
