Belt Driven Linear Actuators

Find the best belt-driven linear actuators at Matara, designed and built in-house at our UK large machine shop and factory complex to the highest possible standards. Effortlessly convert rotational motion into linear motion with our range of motor-powered linear actuators, perfect for driving heavy loads with minimal friction.

What is a Linear Actuator?

Linear actuators convert rotational motion into linear motion to control or move objects along a straight line. Actuators like our belt-driven products use a motor to generate rotational motion, which is converted by lead screws, a belt, and other mechanisms into linear motion that the actuator can control in speed and direction.

Belt-driven linear actuator kits use a durable belt to move heavy loads along a linear rail, powered by the rotational force of the motor.

What Are the Types of Linear Actuators?

Types of linear actuators include:

• Electric: These models use belt-driven linear actuators to convert motion with an electric motor for precise, quiet results and easy control.
• Pneumatic: Using compressed air, these models are consistent and durable, making them perfect for fast, repetitive work for automation applications.
• Hydraulic: Generating power with pressurised fluid, these models deliver the intensity and durability required for heavy-duty industrial applications.
