Rotary/Linear Positioning

DESTACO rotary and linear positioning products provide compact pneumatic motion for automated assembly, material handling, machine tending, packaging and other industrial applications. Use this hub to choose between rotary actuators for controlled angular movement and linear slides for guided straight-line travel.

DESTACO RR Series rotary actuators support part turning, indexing, orienting and transfer applications. Robohand DLB, DLM, DLT and MPS linear slides provide guided travel for pick-and-place, insertion, transfer and positioning. Compare the required motion, payload, rotation or travel, mounting arrangement and sensing needs before selecting the appropriate product family.
