C Beam Linear Actuator

C Beam Linear Actuator

Precise | Affordable | Modular | Open Source

Made and Supported in India

Description

This is a very stable, precise, modular and affordable linear actuator which can be used for automation, DIY CNC/3D Printers and other cool stuff.

It is based on the C Beam Linear Rail and uses the C Beam Gantry Plate which offers large surface mounting options. Four mini wheels run inside the gantry plate and the actuator moves using a 8mm lead screw running through an anti-backlash nut.

It can be easily integrated into any existing system or any new design due to the inherent modularity of the C Beam Linear Rail and the V Slot system.

Select Optional Items

• Length - What length of the actuator you need.
• Kit or Assembled - Do you need it in kit form or Assembled from our side.
• Nema 23 Stepper Motor - Stepper motor rotates the ballscrew to create linear motion. We offer LeadShine Nema 23 Stepper Motor with 23Kg torque. Click here to know more details about this motor.

• Stepper Driver - it is required for operating the stepper motor. A stepper motor needs a stepper driver for running it. We offer DM54E stepper driver from Leadshine. Click here to know more about it.
  

• Power Supply - A power supply is required for providing DC current to the Motherboard + stepper driver + stepper motor. We offer Meanwell LRS 350-24 power supply which is a 24VDC, 350 watts and 14 amps psu. Click here to know more about it.

• Coupler - joins the leadscrew to shaft of the motor.We offer coupler of 8mm to 8mm size. Which joins 8mm leadscrew side to 8mm shaft of the motor.

• Motor Mounting Hardware - These fasteners are used for mounting the stepper motor to the linear actuator. It includes - M5 mounting screws (SHCS M5x50mm) -02pcs & M5 Spacers of 40mm length (02 pcs)

• Openbuilds BlackBox Motion Control System X32 - It is a plug & play motherboard/controller for 3 axis motion system. It can run 4 stepper motors (X,Y & Z). No external drivers are required as it has inbuilt drivers. Just connect a power supply and stepper motors to it and start running your motors with openbuilds control software.

• Cable For Motor - Use this high quality, 4 core, shielded cable for extending stepper motor cables. These are shielded cables hence electromagnetic interference is minimal.Use these Shielded Cables for connecting your stepper motors to motherboard & Drivers.
