It reportedly has a smaller footprint than similar units, yet provides up to double the roll-moment capacity of comparable screw-driven products and nearly five times that of other belt-driven ...

Belt-driven linear actuators from Bell-Everman, Goleta, Calif. have had linear force and payload restrictions that limited their use in heavy-duty applications such as packaging and material handling.

The actuators have a self-sustaining anodized aluminum frame and a steel reinforced driving belt, and they are engineered to provide stiffness for greater load capacity. Symmetrical heads on both ends ...
