Servomech Mechanical Linear Actuators
Linear Actuators South Africa is the official South African partner for Servomech Italy, supplying high-performance mechanical linear actuators for industrial automation, machine building and demanding motion-control applications.
Servomech mechanical linear actuators are motorised mechanical cylinders that convert the rotary motion of an electric motor into controlled linear movement. They provide reliable pushing, pulling, lifting and positioning where accurate and dependable linear motion is required.
The range consists of six actuator series with different motor arrangements, transmission systems and mounting configurations. Options include right-angle, parallel and in-line designs, with Acme screw and ball screw drive systems, as well as a wide selection of motors, limit switches, encoders, potentiometers and other position-feedback options.
Servomech mechanical linear actuators are used across a wide range of industrial sectors including machinery and automation, steel and metal processing, manufacturing equipment, renewable energy, plastics and rubber processing, printing and converting machinery, food and beverage equipment, and other specialised industrial applications.
For suitable applications, electromechanical linear actuators provide an efficient alternative to hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, offering clean electric operation, precise motion control and flexible integration into modern machinery and automated systems.
