NSK Monocarrier Linear Actuators
NSK’s Monocarriers are all-in-one structures which integrate a ball screw, linear guide, and support bearings into a single unit to significantly reduce design and installation time. These lightweight, compact, single axis linear actuators feature rust-resistant, low temperature chrome plating on the bodies and sliders as standard. With combination plates and gantry brackets, you can easily combine Monocarriers into any XYZ configuration.

Cover Units
-
Protect against larger contaminants with optional cover units
-
Full cover option includes top and side covers (prohibits use of sensor rail)
-
Top cover option provides protection as well as use of sensor rail
Combination Plates and Brackets
-
Used when movement in more than one plane is desired, ie. XYZ combination
-
Combination brackets join two Monocarriers together to allow movement in multiple planes
-
Gantry Plate allows for addition of support rail for severely cantilevered Y-axis load conditions
