ATH8 High-Rigidity Compact Linear Module | Aluminum Profile Actuator
Overview
The ATH8 series is a high-rigidity, compact single-axis linear module designed to meet the demanding requirements of precision automation. Featuring a high-strength aluminum profile body integrated with a steel sliding seat and a built-in guideway, the ATH8 offers an optimal balance of lightweight design and high structural rigidity, minimizing deflection under load.
With a compact and optimized cross-section, it serves as a 100% dimensional drop-in replacement for standard market models, making it ideal for space-constrained, high-precision applications in semiconductor, 3C electronics assembly, and lithium-ion battery manufacturing.
Key Features
High-Strength Structural Body: Integrated steel sliding seat with an anodized aluminum profile for excellent rigidity and deflection resistance under load.
Compact Space-Saving Design: Optimized width profile designed for high-density, multi-axis robotic Cartesian configurations.
High Performance Capability: Delivers outstanding positioning repeatability of ±0.01 mm and dynamic linear speeds up to 1000 mm/s.
Versatile Ordering Options: Highly customizable options for ball screw leads, motor mounting directions, and built-in home/limit sensor configurations.
Global Motor Compatibility: Seamless integration with major servo motor brands including Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Yaskawa, and Delta (200W to 750W output capacity).
