Equipped with several standard offered advantages and a myriad of customizable accessories also available, PBC Linear’s MLA miniature linear actuator is carving out a niche in the medical, laboratory, and small-scale automation industries. Small and compact, the MLA fits in the closest profile spaces to support smooth, quiet, and precise linear motion where larger actuating systems cannot—making the MLA a perfect selection for all miniaturized bio-tech linear guidance.

For delicate pick and place assemblies, automated analyzing or testing, and laboratory material handling, the MLA can be assembled into a task-specialized XYZ gantry for any of these critical applications. The MLA’s profile is precision machined for enhanced repeatability and flush mounting. Implemented in an XYZ gantry, the MLA has been shown to deliver superior stability and moment load tolerance. This is further facilitated by a special dual external linear guide rails running along both sides of the mini-actuator. With stepper motors providing sufficient torque and drive, and the ability to mount in-line, on the side, or on top, the small-scale actuator can be easily accommodated into any system!

When these factors combine together, a completely customized and job-centered mini-actuator can be easily designed for any laboratory automaton application. Also available with a magnetic strip to promote full clean-room linear motion, the MLA can be used throughout a laboratory or medical facility without any worry of contaminating the environment.
