Macron Actuator Applications
Made in the USA
Builders use Macron belt actuators for long, fast horizontal moves and screw actuators for short, forceful or vertical ones. Many machines use both: belt on the long horizontal axis and screw on the short vertical one.
Typical axes
Long-stroke transfer
Moving parts or tooling between stations along a machine.
Pick and place axes
Horizontal belt axis with a screw-driven or pneumatic Z.
Vertical lifts
Screw actuators holding position under load.
Repeat OEM designs
The same actuator shipping across a product line, where Macron is very competitive on cost per axis.
Designing in for volume
When an actuator design repeats across many machines, a modified or custom Macron actuator can take out brackets, adapters and assembly time. Bring EAC in early in the design.
