GTH Series: Industrial-Grade Linear Actuators

Balanced Performance for High-Efficiency Automation

The TOYO GTH Series is the industrial workhorse designed for machine builders who require a reliable, cost-effective solution without sacrificing durability. Optimized for high-duty cycle environments, the GTH series offers a streamlined mechanical design that maximizes throughput while minimizing total cost of ownership.

Advanced Configuration Options

To meet specialized engineering requirements, the GTH series is available in two high-utility variants:

  • "S" Variant (Bi-Parting Dual Carriage): Features two carriages that move in synchronized opposition on a single left-hand/right-hand ball screw. This design is ideal for automated grippers, air-lock doors, conveyor line width adjusters, or any application requiring centered opening and closing motion.
  • "D" Variant (Dual Carriage High-Payload): Employs two carriages moving in tandem to provide significantly increased moment load resistance and vertical payload capacity. Perfect for heavy-duty pick-and-place or long-reach cantilevered applications.

Core Performance Highlights

  • Industrial Efficiency: Engineered to deliver consistent linear motion for high-volume production lines, providing an ideal balance of speed and repeatability for non-micron-critical applications.
  • Optimized Throughput: Reaching velocities up to 1920 mm/s, the GTH series is built to keep pace with modern manufacturing demands in packaging, sorting, and assembly.
  • Robust Load Handling: Supports horizontal payloads up to 2420 kg, making it a versatile choice for heavy-duty material handling and collaborative robot (COBOT) base axes.
  • Standardized Reliability: Features a rigid aluminum extrusion and proven ball screw technology to ensure long-term stability with minimal maintenance requirements.

Engineering Applications & Industry Focus

The GTH series is the strategic choice for general industrial automation where reliability and cost-efficiency are the primary drivers:

  • Material Handling & Logistics: High-speed sorting, palletizing, and conveyor integration.
  • Packaging Automation: Reliable pick-and-place operations and case packing.
  • General Industrial Robotics: 7th-axis positioning for COBOTS and automated assembly stations.
