Uniline Actuators Minimize Installation Time

The Unline family of actuators utilizes floating bearings in its design to provide engineers with movement in two directions, both linear and axial, when used in conjunction with another fixed rail. By combining a floating bearing design with a fixed bearing, alignment does not need to be perfect for optimal performance. (read more)
