Specifications
How long and how fast can a Macron belt actuator go?
Travel to 500 feet, speeds to 600 inches per second and loads up to 10,000 lb, depending on model.
Should I use a belt or screw driven actuator?
Belt for long travel and speed at lower cost per inch. Screw for thrust, fine resolution and vertical axes.
Can a belt actuator run vertically?
It can, but it needs a brake or counterbalance to hold position when power is off. A screw actuator is usually the better vertical choice.
