Zero-Max’s Roh’Lix linear actuators are threadless, mechanical, screw-type devices that convert rotary motion into precise linear motion and thrust using rolling-element ball bearings. These adjustable automatic overload protectors will slip when overloaded, providing linear clutching without additional clutch mechanisms.
Roh'Lix Linear Actuator Small or Larger Size Options
The Roh-Lix is available in small linear actuators that are five-inch and five metric sizes, offering between 15 and 200 lbs. thrust capacity. It can be used in horizontal or vertical applications. All bearings are lubricated for life and require no additional lubrication. Hardened-and-ground shafting with a minimum hardness of 58 HRC is recommended; stainless steel shafting and hollow shafting can also be used for specific applications (consult factory).
Roh'Lix Linear Actuator Designed For Horizontal & Vertical Applications
The Roh-Lix is intended for horizontal or vertical axial loading applications. Axial loading allows for even load distribution across all six of the device’s bearings. Sideloads and twisting loads should be avoided since they can lead to uneven bearing loading while shortening product lifespan. Whenever possible, the load weight on the Roh’Lix linear actuator should be supported by a separate linear bearing assembly.

Roh’Lix linear actuators provide a minimum of 90% mechanical efficiency. Springs preload the bearings against the driveshaft, reducing backlash to less than 0.001”.
