Linear Drives
TPA manufactures two types of linear drive systems for linear motion: ball screws, and linear motors. Each type of linear drive provides accurate, precision motion in both directions along a fixed length, and our linear drives are also designed for low-friction, smooth operation. Types of industries and applications that these linear drives are typically used in include semiconductor, metrology, laser, and high speed assembly applications.
Our ball screw linear drives are available with precision ground or precision rolled construction, either in stock or custom diameters, lengths, and materials. We also offer a number of ball screw linear drive accessories, like lock nuts and end supports. For our linear drive motors, we offer a variety of coil lengths, magnet track lengths, and cross section sizes to meet any requirement you may have. We also offer linear voice coil motors and actuators. Please follow the links below for full specifications and information on all of our linear drives.
