Miniature Linear Units

Miniature Linear Units

Thomson miniature linear units are available in three versions ̶ all ideal for usage in test and measurement, medical diagnostics, and small-load pick-and-place applications. Micro-stage MS units feature ball guides and a high-precision lead screw for smooth and accurate motion. The WM40 PowerLine packs excellent power and provides a high-duty cycle due to its ball screw, ball-guided design. The WH40 SpeedLine is a belt-driven, ball-guided unit providing high speeds for dynamically demanding applications.

WH40 SpeedLine Linear Units

SpeedLine WH40 positioning slide is a miniaturized linear drive unit designed for minimal and compact dimensional applications. Built with a low coefficient of friction, these slides make it easy to fit smaller motors. Rubber wipers protect the mechanism from dirt, increasing service life.

WH40 SpeedLine Feature Highlights:

  • Four KAO mounting brackets

  • Multi-direction installation

  • Centralized lubrication system
