GSX Series Linear Actuators

GSX Series Linear Actuators
Anti-rotation Option
The unique design of the GSX Series of
linear actuators permits the extending rod
to rotate. This simplifies actuator setup by
allowing the user to rotate the rod and
thread it in and out of the actuator for
mechanical attachment or system testing.
However, this feature also requires that
once setup and testing are completed,
the rod be kept from rotating so proper
linear motion will be maintained. In most
applications the actuator’s load is coupled
to linear bearings, or some other support
device. In these cases the load cannot
rotate, and a separate anti-rotation system
is not needed.
For applications in which the load is free
to rotate, Exlar offers the anti-rotation
systems shown right. Shorter GSX units
use an anti-rotation arm on one side of
the actuator. Longer strokes (defined
above right) use arms on both sides.

A second anti-rotate arm is used
on GSX20, GSX30 and GSX40,
10 inch and longer stroke.
GSX60 uses a single sided
anti-rotate for all stroke lengths.
