New and Very Compact Captive Linear Actuator
POSTED 08/08/2018
Feldkirchen/Germany – Nanotec now offers captive linear actuators with short design in sizes NEMA 11 (28 mm) and NEMA 17 (42 mm). With the LGA28 and LGA42 series, the overall length of the guide is just 10 mm longer than the working stroke, therefore they are particularly suitable for use in small installation spaces.
The new linear actuators offer very low backlash as well as high thrust and tensile force. Thanks to the integrated linear guide with movable polygon profile, high-precision feeding is possible without additional mechanical components.
Both series can be ordered in various lengths, with different windings and optionally with encoder. The electrical connection is made using an integrated connector.

North American Robot Orders Hold Steady in Q1 2025 as A3 Launches First-Ever Collaborative Robot Tracking
Robot orders in North America remained essentially flat in the first quarter of 2025, with companies purchasing 9,064 units valued at $580.7 million, according to new data released by the Association for Advancing Automation (A3). Compared to Q1 2024, this represents a 0.4% increase in units ordered and a 15% rise in order value, signaling continued demand and increased investment in higher-value automation systems.
These linear actuators are ideally suited for applications demanding a combination of exact positioning, fast movement and long service life.
