MISUMI provides a comprehensive overview of MISUMI’s different types of actuators and their respective advantages and disadvantages, making it easier for viewers to select the right actuator for their specific application. MISUMI offers five different types of actuators: RS, LS, LX, MSA, and KU:
• The RS actuator series, which is an out-of-the-box ready-to-go solution. It has a built-in motor, and the package includes the driver and all the software needed for programming, making it an ideal option for those looking for a plug-and-play solution.

• LS actuator - this is MISUMI’s economy model. It is made from modified versions of standard MISUMI components and is identifiable by the gold motor mount bracket on the end. The LS actuator is ideal for applications that require lower precision and repeatability but need the lowest cost actuator available on the MISUMI website.
• LX actuator - this is a solid steel U-channel construction and the most rigid unit that MISUMI offers. It is suitable for very high precision applications, typically three to five-micron repeatability or better, with appropriate motors and controls. The LX actuator comes in sizes ranging from 15mm to 45mm, with options for covers, strip seals, or sensors, motor connectors, and motor wraps.

• The MSA series - is suitable for long strokes or high speeds. It is a belt drive actuator that comes in various styles, including linear guides, round shaft supports with bushings or roller followers, or just a belt drive if you already have linear guide supports and only need thrust. The MSA series can achieve speeds of up to 15 meters per second and lengths of up to six meters as a standard length, with custom options available for longer strokes.

• The KU actuator, which comes in different styles with different ball screw options. It is built using standard MISUMI components and comes on an extruded aluminum base. The KU actuator is wider than other units that MISUMI offers, making it suitable for higher load and higher moment capabilities.

MISUMI’s website also carries accessories like couplings, motors, drives, and cables, and their engineering team can be contacted for further assistance.
