May 14, 2013 ‒ MISUMI USA announces MSA Series Belt Drive Actuators, used in the assembly of industrial machinery and factory automation systems. MSA Series Actuators can be configured to carry loads up to 227 kg (500 lbs), with travel speeds ranging from 1200 to 10,000 mm/sec, and standard lengths up to 6.25 meters, with custom lengths upon request. These capabilities make them suitable for applications across many markets―including packaging, printing, machine tool, manufacturing automation, education, entertainment, aerospace and defense. The pulleys used in MSA Series Actuators feature precision-machined one-piece steel construction, nickel plated for durability and corrosion protection, and an integral shaft for superior strength.
The tough timing belts are made of specialty steel cords molded into highly flexible polyurethane material to protect against damage and deformation. All MSA Series Actuator models have been extensively tested over tens of millions of cycles with no failures and all have a repeatability of +/-25 µm or better.
MISUMI offers a line-up of eight standard MSA Belt Drive Actuators, with selection depending on each user’s specific application requirements.
