maxon motor - Miniature Spindle for Linear Positioning Tasks
The GP 6 S spindle gear is suitable for a wide variety of linear drive solutions.
The maxon GP 6 S spindle gear
The GP 6 S micro spindle gear has a diameter of six millimeters and is now also available in a metal version to provide a spindle drive with optimized value.
Spindle drives are the perfect solution for linear positioning systems, lens adjustment, or syringe pumps.
