Parallel-mount kit

Aug. 30, 2013
The PMK (Parallel Mount Kit) allows virtually any motor to be connected in parallel to any linear ball-screw actuator. The unit saves space because the motor is to the side of the actuator. Available in four standard frame sizes from 3 up to 6 in., the PMK’s maximum output torque is from 2.4 to 46 Nm in a 1:1 pulley transmission ratio. The cover plate is made from aircraft-grade aluminum and anodized for further protection. The pulleys feature conical taper bushings and are connected with a high-torque rubber timing belt for smooth operation.GAM Gear, 901 E.
