Misumi USA , Inc., a subsidiary of Misumi Corporation, part of Misumi Group, Inc. (Tokyo: 9962)   has further expanded its popular  LX Series Single Axis Actuators  with two new product lines: High Precision Class Actuators for use in ultra-precise positioning and indexing applications, and Motorized Actuators, which significantly reduce time and labor required to design, source and assemble actuators with motorized capabilities.  Misumi’s LX Series Actuators are utilized across a wide range of industries for factory automation and motion control applications.  

Here is an overview of the two new product lines:

• Misumi High Precision Class LX Actuators  ( LX20  and LX26 ) are available in standard or cover type versions and in a wide variety of combinations. Their compact size and incorporation of precision ground ball screw results in extremely precise positioning and indexing control, making them ideal for use in numerous factory automation machine applications. For example, they can be used in servo-driven insertion units, precision measurement units, pick and place tables, painting units, and other devices.  LX Series High Precision Class Actuators typically ship in six (6) days and offer superior price/performance value over competitors’ high precision product offerings.
  
• Misumi LX Actuators with Motors  ( LX30  and LX45 ) are also available in standard or cover type versions and in a wide variety of combinations, with eight (8) types of stepper motors. The units come pre-assembled with the motor, driver, and user-defined peripheral parts (ball screws, sensor options and configurable cable length) already in place to save machine builders time and labor.  Accessory options include jigs for motor -coupling alignment, mounting brackets and transition plates.  The Motorized LX Actuators typically ship in 11 days.        

Misumi’s LX Series models are available globally in over 1000 possible configurations and are covered in the  New 2009 Single Axis Actuator Catalog .  Specially designed brackets allow a combination of two units on a different axis. The single axis actuators are manufactured by Suruga Seiki Co., a MISUMI Group company widely known for its high quality positioning stages and rigorous quality and accuracy inspection processes. An inspection certificate is included with all LX Series products.

All pricing information, technical data and delivery times are published in the Misumi catalog and website.
